The deputation demanded construction of pillar based express highway flyover from Greater Kailash Railway Bridge to Narwal Jammu.
It was emphasized upon Koul that with wall based flyover the entire beautification, marvelous and metro like view of Jammu city shall vanish.
Deputation members further highlighted that existing shopping malls, hotels, beautiful restaurants and public parks located in this entire area shall lose their charm and give rustic and pastoral view of this beautiful city with wall based flyover.
Grover stressed that if NHAI is allowed to pursue their plan of proposed wall-based flyover the residents of Sainik Colony, Channi Himmat, Channi Rama, Sunjwan and Bhatindi will suffer irreparable loss by way of acute congestion of traffic and frequent jams from Railway Station to Channi Himmat.
It was also brought to the notice of Koul that despite meeting with Road Transport & Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari and his specific instructions to the concerned officials of NHAI to change the flyover plan for mitigating sufferings of Jammu people, things stood as such even today and the work is going on evading requests and resentments of the public on one pretext or the other.
Ashok Koul assured to take up the matter with authorities concerned and resolve the issue at the earliest.
The delegation comprised of V.K Trikha, Anoop Anand, Rajesh Pandoh, Vivek Kohli, V.K Grover, B.M Gandotra, P.K Talwar, Verinder Ahluwalia and B.D Chargotra.
