DELHIITES hoping for the completion of the long-awaited final underpass in the Pragati Maidan tunnel project may have to wait longer, as the final underpass remains incomplete and work is unlikely to resume before the monsoon ends.

Public Works Department (PWD) Minister Parvesh Verma on Monday announced that the project could be completed within eight to nine months once it receives a final nod from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.

Verma, who visited the site with BJP MP Manoj Tiwari and senior PWD officials, said the department had concluded all necessary technical assessments and submitted its revised proposal to the Centre.
