Union Minister of State for Cooperation, Krishan Pal Gurjar, stated that the road will be lowered, and drains and nets will be installed to address the blind spots and waterlogging in the Mewala underpass area. He added that most of the development work, including boundary walls, gyms, footpaths, and streetlights in the area’s parks, has been completed. He said that before 2014, residents of Sectors 45 and 46 faced significant inconvenience due to traffic jams and railway crossings. However, today, underpasses, wider roads, and improved connectivity have completely transformed the area. The road leading to the Mewala crematorium has also been upgraded to a RMC road.
