District Magistrate Savin Bansal chaired a review meeting for the Rispana-Bindal Elevated Corridor Project on Thursday at the Rishiparna Auditorium. Emphasizing the importance of coordination, he directed all concerned departments to work collaboratively under one roof to ensure the timely execution of this high-priority project, which is being closely monitored by the state government.
During the meeting, officials from the construction agency (PWD) presented a detailed overview of the project. The DM instructed SDMs, the Municipal Corporation, MDDA, and UPCL to designate a common working site and conduct regular joint field visits to accelerate progress. The Sub Land Officer (SLO) was directed to expedite land acquisition, while MDDA and the Municipal Corporation were asked to submit a land bank report within three days. The DM also called for zone-wise and sector-wise field inspections and swift documentation for compensation processes.
