Karnal Twin Flyover: Shelved Before Construction Began — photo 1

On record

A twin-flyover project using single-pillar technology, with its foundation stone laid in March 2024 and a 24-month plan, was suspended indefinitely after traders and residents protested during the Lok Sabha election period over fears of business impact, even though soil testing and structural designs were already complete.

The official record states: "Then-CM Manohar Lal Khattar said discussions with traders would continue and "if they agree, the project will be taken up", effectively shelving it."

“Foundation stone in March, shelved by the election, the stone being the only thing that got laid.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk
