Petrol pump on MG road to be shifted for underpass completion

A petrol pump on Mehrauli-Gurgaon (MG) Road — blocking construction of an L-shaped underpass for traffic coming from Iffco Chowk and heading towards Delhi via Sikandarpur — will be shifted to a new site as soon as possible.  
Haryana chief secretary DS Dhesi has asked Gurgaon administration to provide an alternate site for the pump, and handover the land to NHAI.
This underpass will prove to be a breather for residents of condominiums located on MG Road, such as Heritage, Essel World and DLF Phase II.
Work on the underpasses and flyovers is almost complete, and testing is to begin at Hero Honda Chowk, Rajiv Chowk, Signature Tower and Iffco Chowk. But this depends on the shifting of the MG Road petrol pump.
HUDA estate officer said, “The site for shifting the petrol pump is already identified and the issue will be resolved promptly.”
According to NHAI, once the pump is shifted the underpasses shall become operational from January itself.
