No Impact on Delhi-Dehradun Expressway from Mandola Land Dispute

The Delhi-Dehradun Expressway, a key infrastructure project worth over Rs 83 billion, remains unaffected by a recent land dispute near Mandola in Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat district, officials have clarified.

Contrary to media reports suggesting that private land or a structure is hindering construction, the main expressway is fully functional. According to project authorities, the issue is restricted to a 90-meter stretch of a service road adjacent to Ramp-5.

Out of the four ramps provided for traffic entry and exit in the area, three (Ramp-2, Ramp-3, and Ramp-4) have already been completed along with the accompanying service roads. The disputed segment lies only beside Ramp-5, where the landowner has filed a writ petition in the Hon’ble High Court of Allahabad (Lucknow Bench). The matter is currently sub judice.

Authorities have assured that the dispute will not affect the movement of vehicles on the expressway. To ensure smooth traffic, a temporary bypass has been arranged through the internal roads of the Mandola Vihar Yojna, allowing vehicles to reroute safely while exiting Ramp-5.

This expressway is a major component of India's Bharatmala project and is expected to significantly reduce travel time between the national capital and Uttarakhand.
