RWA demands Installation of Foot Overbridge for pedestrian safety
The residents of Sector 17, Sector 14 and Sukhrali Village have approached the district administration for the installation of a foot overbridge (FOB). With increase in the number of accidents involving pedestrians on the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway, Residents Welfare Association demand FOBs for pedestrian safety.
Residents say that they have been following up the issue with senior officials for a long time, but nothing has happened so far in this regard. An FOB between IFFCO Chowk and Signature Tower is absolutely necessary, said Gajraj Singh Sehrawat, president of Sector 17-C RWA. Sector 17 parts A, B and C are adjacent to IFFCO Chowk and an FOB to cross over would be of great help, say the residents.
When contacted, Anup Singh, the area councillor of Ward Number 17, said, The installation of FOB was the top priority of the residents as well as the ward representatives. However, a high tension wire is passing through the area, which needs to be cabled by the department.
An estimate has been prepared by the department for the cabling of these wires. After that, the matter would be taken up with the NHAI.
Many pedestrians have got injured and several other have died in road accidents while crossing the road. The commercial establishments and even the cremation ground are on the other side of the road.
