UTTIPEC clears Kalindi Kunj bypass connecting Delhi-Faridabad.

The Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure (Planning and Engineering) Centre (UTTIPEC) gave clearance to the ambitious Kalindi Kunj bypass project which will directly connect Delhi with neighbouring Faridabad.

The bypass would provide relief to the commuters who regularly head to Faridabad through Ashram, reducing the travel time.

The project had already got Delhi Lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Jung's approval.

However, a major hurdle which remains to be resolved is acquisition of land as almost 10 km of the total 14-km stretch falls under the Uttar Pradesh Irrigation Department, said a Public Works department (PWD) official.

The two governments have to discuss the matter to sort it out, he said, adding that the project was supposed to be flagged off in May 2003.
