Final underpass at Pragati Maidan gets renewed push

Delhi's Public Works Department (PWD) has written to the Union government to restart work at a Pragati Maidan underpass - the last of the six corridors around the tunnel leading to the complex - after work on the project was halted following floods during the 2023 monsoon, officials aware of the matter have said.
