CM Atishi Opens to Public New Six-Lane Flyover in Punjabi Bagh

Throwing the structure open to the public, Atishi said the flyover will help commuters skip three traffic signals, "saving 40,800 hours daily for the people of Delhi", and stated that it will help reduce pollution by saving commuters from burning 1.1 million litres of petrol and diesel every year.

"The total saving in terms of pollution is equal to planting 65,000 trees. This is the 39th flyover that has been inaugurated since the Aam Aadmi Party came to power 10 years ago. Delhi has never seen infrastructure expansion of flyovers, underpasses and elevated roads at such speed as we have delivered," she said.
