Sarita Vihar flyover repair work in Delhi to finally begin tomorrow; know about alternate routes, details inside
Those travelling to and from Southeast Delhi and beyond will have to brace for traffic disruption as the Sarita Vihar flyover repair works will begin from Friday. Owing to the repair work, the Sarita Vihar flyover will remain partially closed till August 8. Commuters travelling from Badarpur and Faridabad towards South Delhi will suffer the most. Residents of Sarita Vihar, Ohkla, and Govindpuri, too, will face the brunt. Kalindi Kunj roads and the Sarita Vihar flyover had recently faced heavy traffic congestion owing to the Kanwar Yatra. Since 2023, talks of the repair work have been going on, but it never started owing to one reason or the other. In October last year, the traffic police had shared an advisory, but despite that, the repair work never saw the light of day owing to some issues with the contractor and the previous government. Finally, the Public Works Department (PWD) will undertake repair work from Friday. During this period, half of the carriageway will remain closed for vehicular movement, while the other half will remain operational round the clock to ensure partial traffic flow. The Delhi Traffic Police also issued an advisory on Thursday morning asking commuters to make prior arrangements and plan their journey in advance. Vehicles coming from Badarpur border and heading towards Ashram via Mathura Road may use the following alternate routes: Route 1 – Badarpur border-MB Road-Pul Prahladpur-Lal Kuan-Right towards Maa Anandmai marg-crown plaza-Govindpuri-Right turn towards Modi mill flyover-Left turn for Mathura road towards Ashram. Route 2 – Use slip road adjacent to Sarita Vihar flyover-Left turn for Okhla, right turn at Crown plaza-Maa Anandmai marg-Govindpuri-Right turn towards Modi mill flyover-left turn for Mathura road towards Ashram. Traffic officials said movement of heavy and commercial vehicles on Mathura Road from Badarpur towards Sarita Vihar flyover will be restricted.

Former India kabaddi team captain Deepak Hooda falls into Ganga in Haridwar, rescued by Uttarakhand Police
Deepak Hooda, a former captain of the Indian men's Kabaddi team and a BJP leader, fell into the Ganga river in Haridwar and was swept away by the high current before a team of the Uttarakhand Police rescued him Wednesday. Talking about the incident, Hooda said Thursday, 'I had been regularly visiting Haridwar. It was Sawan Shivratri yesterday, and I went there for a holy dip. While I was taking the dip, I slipped into a ditch. I could not balance myself and started drowning. Within a few seconds, the rescue team arrived and managed to pull me out of the water. I would like to thank the Uttarakhand Police.' 'It was scary. The water current was too fast. I could not balance myself. I tried to stay afloat, but it was tough. The rescuers saw me and reached me. Luckily, I could be saved. It is the blessings of people that have kept me alive. I am a good swimmer and have been going there since my childhood. But, it was due to the high water current that I could not balance myself', added Hooda, an Asian gold medallist and an Arjuna awardee. The Uttarakhand Police posted a video of Hooda's rescue on its social media handle. Officials said that during the ongoing Kanwar Yatra, incidents of pilgrims falling into the Ganga river are common. As a result, the Haridwar police have deployed several rescue teams at various ghats. The BJP fielded Hooda from the Meham constituency in the Rohtak district in the 2024 Haryana Assembly elections. In his first electoral battle, Hooda, however, finished a distant fourth and got only 8,929 votes. Congress candidate Balram Dangi won the seat, securing 56,865 votes. Hooda's wife Sawerty Boora is an international boxer who has also been honoured with the Arjuna Award.
