New Delhi: Debris clearance operations
continued at the Delhi Metro accident site in South Delhi even
as one-way traffic in the area was thrown open on Tuesday to
facilitate movement of vehicles.
Cranes, which toppled yesterday leaving six injured,
have been removed from the accident spot.
Commuters in the area had some respite this morning as
one-way traffic was opened on the Moolchand-Jamrudpur-Nehru
Place route.
Traffic has been at a standstill in areas leading to
the mishap site in Jamrudpur, where six persons were killed
after an under-construction bridge collapsed on Sunday.
Vehicular movement towards Nehru Place, one of the
capital`s main commercial hubs, has been badly affected with
traffic chaos in many places like Greater Kailash, Amar
Colony, Moolchand and East of Kailash.
Water supply is yet to be restored in the area which
witnessed a pipe-burst after a portion of the collapsed bridge
fell on it. Power supply has also been temporarily snapped.
Delhi Metro spokesperson Anuj Dayal had yesterday said
traffic on one road is likely to be open by this afternoon and
the other lane will be open in six to seven days, by which
time the whole clearing up operation is expected to be
completed.
