During the visit, Neeraj Mandloi clarified that there are no issues with the flyover’s design or construction techniques, but the drastically fluctuation temperatures.
Cracks Due To Weather

However, the department will investigate any issues or cracks reported. He further stated that the flyover’s construction is progressing well and will be completed soon.
“The PWD department has gained valuable knowledge about improved construction methods through this project. We assure that the flyover is being built with a strong focus on safety and durability,” he stated.
He assured that the flyover will be safe and long-lasting once completed.
