Development work on the SG Highway stretch between the ISKCON Bridge and the fountain near Pakwan has remained incomplete for nearly six months, raising concerns over the safety of motorists using the busy stretch.
A wall has been constructed at the site, but the work has been left unfinished. Citizens have raised concerns that the incomplete work could increase the risk of accidents for vehicles passing through the area.
₹25-Crore Plan Includes Walkways, Gardens and Footpaths
The Ahmedabad civic body has planned development work on both sides of the SG Highway from ISKCON to Pakwan at a cost of more than ₹25 crore. The project includes a walkway, garden, footpath and service road, among other works.
Disputed Plot Holds Up Further Work
According to a representation made by citizens, an encroachment has been reported on government land at one point along the stretch. Officials said a plot in the middle of the project is involved in a court case, preventing the civic body from proceeding with the work in that section.
Coordination Between Departments Underway
The additional city engineer of the civic body’s road project department said the work is being undertaken jointly by the engineering, garden and estate departments.
The estate department is handling the issue related to the disputed plot, while the civic body maintains that development work on the SG Highway stretch is currently underway.
