Bengaluru's Ejipura flyover project is facing significant delays due to a shortage of workers, prompting officials to step in and demand immediate action from the contractor.
Inspection reveals slow progress
During a recent inspection of the project, senior official Rao observed that construction was progressing at a slower pace than expected. The primary cause identified was a lack of adequate workforce on site. Rao noted that the shortage was hampering the timely completion of the flyover, which is a critical infrastructure project aimed at easing traffic congestion in the area.
Contractor directed to ramp up workforce
Rao directed the contractor to increase the number of workers immediately to accelerate the pace of work. He also instructed officials to closely monitor the progress and ensure that further delays are minimized. The directive comes as part of efforts to expedite the project, which has been plagued by repeated setbacks.
Impact on commuters and timeline
The Ejipura flyover is expected to provide much-needed relief to daily commuters who face long traffic jams in the area. However, the current delays could push back the completion date, causing further inconvenience. Officials have not yet announced a revised deadline, but they emphasized that the contractor must meet the original timeline to the extent possible.
