Parama flyover in Kolkata likely to miss Dec deadline
In Kolkata, the Park Circus-Parama Island flyover, a crucial project under Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), which was scheduled to be completed by August 2012, has now missed its revised deadline of August, 2013. There is no way it can meet its second amended deadline of December 2013. It is going to be city's longest flyover.
Key flyover in Kolkata to be ready by May 2014
In Kolkata, one of the major flyover projects under the Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) has cleared hurdles for a long-pending 600-metre leg. The 4.6 km-long Park Circus-Parama flyover project, connecting central Kolkata with its eastern fringes including the airport and IT hub in Salt Lake, may now see speedy completion.
