HCC Manager Administration, Sunil Sahney, met MCF Commissioner, R. K. Khullar, recently to seek land for keeping pre-fabricated cast units to be used in the construction of the flyover The matter was also discussed in the weekly meeting of the heads of all the departments of the municipal body Khullar said that HCC approached him to provide a site measuring at least 10 acre to store the pre-fabricated construction units for the flyover "Since the project is time-bound and it has to start soon, we have decided to do our bit so that the project does not get delayed.
After all, Faridabad is going to gain a lot once the flyover is raised. We have offered them four sites for the purpose. Now, the HCC has to give their preference," he said.
Khullar said that the MCF has offered them land at Budhena, Mirzapur, Ghazipur and the vacant land near Dabua vegetable market.
"We have given them four sites each measuring over 10 acre. Now it is for the HCC to decide which site is the most suitable for them.
But we feel great that the MCF has been associated with such a prestigious project," he said.
