Govt to develop space beneath Sadar Bazar flyover as a play area

The officials said that the scope of work will include the development of a badminton/volleyball court base, LED lights, enclosing the space with nets and beautification through street art and murals.

City agencies have earlier attempted to develop spaces under flyovers as green spaces, landscaped gardens and walkways at locations in south Delhi including Nehru Place, Munirka, Africa Avenue T-point, and Nizamuddin among others. However, this will be the first such attempt at creating a sports area.

The Irrigation and Flood Control (I&FC) department floated the tenders on Tuesday and estimates that it will take around two months to clear the site and complete the project. The flyover is located in a heavily congested region of Sadar Bazar — near the Sarai Rohilla railway station, narrow lanes in residential areas, Anand Parbat industrial area and other busy markets.
