Delhi-bound traffic on Noida Expressway diverted for 3 days
Delhi-bound traffic on Noida-Greater Noida Expressway will be affected till Monday morning as the Noida Traffic Police have implemented restrictions near the Bird Feeding Point near Dalit Prerna Sthal on the carriageway towards the national capital.
The restrictions are in place from 9pm on Friday till 4am on Monday for ongoing repairs on an 800mm underground water pipe.
The police have advised commuters travelling from Pari Chowk to Mayur Vihar, Akshardham, and Chilla Border via the Noida Expressway to take the Dadri–Surajpur–Chhalera (DSC) Road and the Botanical Garden route to avoid inconvenience.
Delhi-bound traffic will also be diverted via Kalindi Kunj and Sarita Vihar. Additionally, traffic coming from Kalindi Kunj towards Chilla Border and the DND Flyway will be redirected through Noida Sector 37 and the Botanical Garden route. The DSC Road, which connects various metro stations such as Botanical Garden, Sector 18, Sector 16, and Sector 15, as well as shopping hubs such as Atta Market, is also expected to face congestion due to the increased traffic load.
During this period, emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire tenders will be allowed passage. Traffic police have also issued a helpline number — 9971009001.
'The pipe lies nearly 10 metres from the central verge. To carry out the repair work, a section of the main carriageway — about five metres wide and 30 metres long — will be closed from Friday night until Monday morning,' said Lakhan Singh Yadav, deputy commissioner of police (traffic).
'The repair work is both important and urgent. If the pipeline is not repaired, it could even damage the expressway. Moreover, with the monsoon season approaching, digging during rains would be challenging,' said DL Verma, Senior Manager, Noida authority.

Noida e-way arm to Delhi to be closed for pipe repairs till Mon
Noida: Traffic on one carriageway of Noida Expressway will be diverted over the weekend as authorities undertake underground water pipeline repairs. The closure, effective from Friday 9pm to Monday 4am, will impact traffic flowing from Pari Chowk towards Delhi. The diversion, which will be done near the bird feeding point adjacent to Dalit Prerna Sthal, will redirect traffic from Pari Chowk and other parts of Greater Noida and Noida to DSC Road, Botanical Garden, Kalindi Kunj and Sarita Vihar. While the Delhi-Noida arm will remain unaffected, vehicles headed to Chilla Border and DND Flyway from Kalindi Kunj will be redirected through the Sector 37 and Botanical Garden route. Due to these diversions, the DSC road, which connects different metro stations like Botanical Garden, Sector 18, 16, and 15, and shopping hubs, like Atta Market, is expected to face heavy traffic pressure. DCP (traffic) Lakhan Singh Yadav said an 800 mm diameter underground water pipeline that passes about 10 metres from the central verge was damaged. "For the repairs, a 30-metre stretch of the main carriageway will be closed over the weekend," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Obtén audífonos premium sin pagar absolutamente nada Top Audifonos Undo Special arrangements will be made for emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire engines during the period. Commuters can flag complaints on the traffic helpline number (9971009001) if they are stuck in tailbacks on the key Delhi-Noida link road. On average, five lakh vehicles use the expressway on weekdays, with two lakh vehicles alone from DND Flyway, one lakh each from Kalindi Kunj, Chilla Border and internal sectors. With offices and schools largely closed, the traffic volume is lower on weekends. Noida Authority's senior manager DL Verma said the damaged pipeline has led to leakages and disruption in water supply in nearby areas. "If the pipeline is not repaired promptly, it can damage the expressway. With monsoon approaching, we cannot delay the work as it involves digging, which could be challenging during the rains," Verma said, adding the work would be completed over the weekend to minimise traffic disruption. In Feb, Noida Authority had diverted traffic in the expressway section for repairing the water pipeline.

IndiGo flight from Delhi diverted due to unusual bird movement at Pune airport
Pune: An IndiGo flight from Delhi to Pune on Thursday morning had to be diverted to Surat allegedly due to the presence of birds near the runway area. The flight (6E-2471) had taken off from Delhi at 4.54am instead of its scheduled time of 4.40am and was set to touch down in Pune at 6.45am. Sources in the airport said that the flight reached Pune airport but could not land because of the presence of birds around the runway area. The aircraft, an A-320 with more than 100 flyers, hovered around the airport for around 20 minutes before heading to Surat as it had less fuel, sources said. Airport director Santosh Dhoke was yet to reply to a WhatsApp message on the matter at the time of going to press. Many WhatsApp messages sent to IndiGo also failed to yield any response. Sources in the airline said that one needed to contact Airport Authority of India and Air Traffic Control (ATC) in case of bird activities. ATC of Pune airport is managed by the Indian Air Force. Every aircraft while flying to a destination has a flight plan that includes a secondary airport on which it would land in case of problems or emergencies. If the destination of any aircraft might be hit by rough weather as the pilot sees, extra fuel is taken and in that case, load factor comes into play which includes deboarding luggage of passengers and cargo too. On May 20, a Hyderabad-bound IndiGo flight from Pune faced a major delay, resulting in passengers sitting inside the aircraft for around six hours, due to various reasons, including unusual bird activity in the airport.
