Adampur Flyover — photo 1

On record

A flyover sanctioned in 2016 with a two-year completion target remains unfinished more than seven years later despite land acquisition and removal of over 120 encroachments in 2022; residents describe crippled local trade and a 2025 Lok Adalat petition alleging administrative indifference.

The official record states: "Not specified: the petition alleges "systemic administrative indifference and neglect of statutory duties" by NHAI and the state infrastructure board."

“A two-year flyover entering its ninth year, with the local shops closing faster than the spans open.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

Visitor reviews Satire

“Nine years into a two-year flyover, and the shops along the Hoshiarpur road have closed faster than the spans have gone up.”
YD Y. Deshpande · Jalandhar★★★★★
“One hundred and twenty encroachments were cleared in 2022 for a project that has not moved since.”
ZM Z. Merchant · Jalandhar★★★★★
“Residents had to go to a Lok Adalat to ask why nothing is happening. That petition is the most recent progress.”
OK O. Kulkarni · Jalandhar★★★★★

Shaheed S. Beant Singh Park: Renovated, Then Reduced to Ruins

A 5-acre park named after a former Chief Minister was renovated in 2019 with a fountain, lighting, benches and a walking track, but has since fallen into disrepair with broken swings, overgrown pathways, open sewage, garbage accumulation, stray animals and reported gambling on the premises, driving away residents who once used it for daily walks.
