“The PWD has filed police complaint against miscreants who illegally tried to intrude Vikaspuri Elevated Road to be inaugurated by the Delhi chief minister tomorrow,” the official said. A senior official said the Public Works Department (PWD) has filed a written police complaint for forcibly inaugurating the elevated corridor, which is a part of the 22-km signal-free Vikaspuri-Wazirabad project. Former Congress MP Mahabal Mishra and his supporters forcibly opened an elevated corridor between Vikaspuri and Meera Bagh on Saturday, a day before chief minister Arvind Kejriwal was scheduled to formally inaugurate it, prompting PWD to file a police complaint. In a statement, the former West Delhi MP said he along with hundreds of party workers inaugurated the 3.4-km flyover from Vikaspuri to Meera Bagh as the Congress party had allotted funds for its construction. The corridor will make five intersections on the stretch signal-free, following which residents of Jankapuri, Vikaspuri, Tilak Nagar, Jawalaheri and Pachim Vihar will be benefited the most.
