GURGAON:
Huda made some headway in the long-stalled
Dwarka expressway project on Wednesday as it finally managed to complete the
auction for the removal of 12 structures and ‘malba’ (construction material waste), which are obstructing the highway stretching from
Kherki Daula to Dwarka.
Huda received a total of nine bids with the highest one amounting to Rs12.5 lakh.
The authority has, in the past, made several failed attempts to get rid of the structures and malba in the areas including New Palam Vihar, Tek Chand Nagar, Daultabad and Kherki Daula.
These structures are different from the houses of the oustees, who have been allotted alternative plots but not issued allotment letters yet.
The land acquisition process of the 12 structures and their respective land has been completed and Huda has awarded compensation to the land owners. “With this, hurdles in way of the NPR project will be minimised,” said estate officer of Huda Sanjeev Singla.
Now, the houses of the oustees remain the only obstacle in the way of completion of the expressway. Huda is facing a tough time rehabilitating oustees from New Palam Vihar, Chouma and Kherki Daula village.
Huda had conducted three draws in July-August to give alternative plots to the NPR oustees; they were boycotted.
