The MCG had sent a detailed project report (DPR) for the government approval three months ago that met some objections from the top brass.

"We hope approval to the DPR from the head office in a week time," said BS Singroha, chief engineer, MCG.

According to a source, the head office had pointed out some calculation errors in the DPR.

They were regarding shifting of existing sewer and water pipelines electric cables, poles among others. “It is a three-layer (underpass-surface-flyover) and R100 crore project, the Haryana government is keen on eliminating all minus points in a way to minimise risk factors and cost escalation,” said the source.

The project would help easing traffic flow between Iffco Chowk and Signature Tower and Northern Peripheral Road (NPR).
