I got to look at the details of the project as to what was supposed to be built in here. Basically, the project was conceived in 2006 and a tender was called in 2007. The requirement was a 3o metre wide and 800 metre long rail over bridge to ease the traffic in the Keshar Bagh area rail crossing.

The main issue here was that there was traffic before and the bridge was supposed to improve the traffic situation. But as this didn't happen the traffic around here has took a turn for the worse but the IDA has again sought an extension for another 3 months.

You know what the work on the bridge started in 2007 to connect Annpurna Nagar with Keshar Bagh and Bhawarkuan area. The bridge was expected to complete in 2008 but it is still pending till date and cost of the project has escalated from Rs 21.5 crores to Rs 30 crores

Oh that's right. The company's representatives were not present and this has irked the high court and so they have held the company in contempt and have given just two week's time to respond and their time is soon running out.

The person that started with the petition has also seen the progress come to a stand still and has said that large amount of works is pending and the contractors are not even complying by the order of the court. What can you do with people like these?

Last week the IDA along with the state government filed a report about why they did not complete the work but the contractors that were supposed to do this did not happen to be present nor did they file any report.

Back on November 30th of last year when the Madhya Pradesh high court acted upon a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by several of the residents from around here. The court set another deadline for the IDA to act upon and were given over three months of time to complete it but again the IDA flouted the deadline.

Exactly. Indore Developmental Authoriity have been so utterly useless that they have so far missed over 11 deadlines issued from the higher authorities even going from the high court from even the state government but nobody has been able to jerrk them out of their inefficiency.

Yes. The IDA were supposed to build an 800 metre bridge that would connect Keshar Bagh and its sorrounding areas in the western parts to the eastern parts of the city as it was causing a lot of inconvenience but they have not completed the work.

I don't think the IDA is even working now. They were supposed to start off the construction of a bridge way back eight years ago. But even after so long nothing has really turned up which is the worst any authority can do I must say.
