Overview
- PWD Minister Parvesh Verma inspected Chirag Delhi and IIT Delhi flyovers on Thursday and announced that Indian Oil Corporation Ltd has adopted five flyovers under three‑year memorandums of understanding.
- Active makeover work has begun beneath the Chirag Delhi flyover with a Nature & Wildlife theme that includes walking tracks, fountains, sculptures, wall art and plantation.
- Separately, the PWD said it will fund the construction of 400 to 500 police booths beneath flyovers and hand them over to Delhi Police, with tenders for the booths to be floated soon.
- Under the CSR adoption model, private firms pay for upkeep and site‑specific installations in exchange for limited advertising or recognition and carry explicit two‑ to three‑year maintenance commitments in the MoUs.
- The initiative repurposes poorly lit, underused under‑flyover spaces to improve cleanliness and reduce loitering and may require monitoring after corporate maintenance terms expire to ensure long‑term upkeep.
