The residents of Goverdhan Vilas area have started evacuating their houses and businesses following the instruction of Urban Improvement Trust who will start road widening process after demolishing the houses .

At particular areas of Goverdhan Vilas, width of the road connecting National Highway 8 shrinks to 30 ft, whereas the actual width should be 100ft. On technical grounds, the situation is called ‘bottleneck’.

To remove the infrastructural obstacle from road, UIT started the demolition process on 17^th May, where earth mover ran over residential buildings and even few government constructions.

In continuation with the project, UIT has further given notice to 15 families, to vacant their houses on or before 30^th May, as Trust will acquire the land to widen the road.

Residents of affected part have requested UIT to provide appropriate aid, so that shifting can be done speedily and also to provide them with patta of remaining land.

Ram Niwas Mehta, Secretary, UIT, agreed over the demands, while road construction would start soon after land is cleared.

Mehta added that on this stretch, a 100 feet road will be constructed and for that, around 35 feet land will be acquired on both sides of road.
