Amit Shah Inaugurates Delhi's Barapullah Phase-3 Elevated Corridor Enhancing Connectivity
Union Home Minister Amit Shah inaugurated Delhi's long-delayed Barapullah Phase-3 elevated corridor, a 9-km signal-free route connecting Mayur Vihar Phase I and Sarai Kale Khan, improving connectivity towards AIIMS and South Delhi. The project, approved in 2014 and completed after multiple delays and cost escalations to around Rs 1,635 crore, includes India's first flyover with a dedicated cycle track and pedestrian facilities. The corridor aims to reduce travel time between East Delhi, Noida, and South Delhi from 35-40 minutes to about 15 minutes, easing congestion on key routes. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta credited the completion to cooperation between the Centre and Delhi government, while also criticizing previous delays.
