Metal-laying from Chaura Maidan to Advance Study Chowk to begin Sunday; pipeline work on 103-Tutikandi link road likely to disrupt traffic for 3–4 days
Shimla, November 14: Road restoration work under Shimla Jal Prabandhan Nigam Limited’s (SJPNL) 24×7 continuous pressurised water supply project is gathering pace, with SUEZ teams set to begin metal-laying on the Chaura Maidan–Ava Lodge–Advance Study Chowk stretch from Sunday.
Restoration work is being undertaken in phases on roads dug up for pipeline installation. Metal-laying has already been completed in Baluganj and Khalini markets, while work on the Chaura Maidan stretch is scheduled to begin next.
Road restoration on the Sanjauli College–IGMC route, where excavation was carried out for the project’s pipelines, is also expected to start shortly.
Meanwhile, pipeline installation on the 103-Tutikandi link road will begin on Monday. The work is expected to affect traffic on the stretch for three to four days. Residents and commuters have been advised to use alternative routes during this period to avoid inconvenience.
