The upcoming double-decker flyover between Bhajanpura and Yamuna Vihar in northeast Delhi on the Maujpur to Majlis Park metro corridor is set to miss its July deadline, as the work has been on hold due to a pending tree-felling permission from the forest department, officials said.

The viaduct for the metro corridor has been completed by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), but the ramps on both sides connecting the road with the flyover have not been constructed “due to unavailability of tree cutting permissions”. Around 70% of the civil construction work has been completed, an official said.
