Solution to Hero Honda Chowk problem soon: Oscar Fernandes

GURGAON: Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Oscar Fernandes today inspected the Hero Honda Chowk on National Highway-8 in Gurgaon and said all stakeholders would have to come together to find, by the end of this month, a concrete solution to the problems being faced by locals in the area.

Following an inspection of the site, Fernandes held a meeting with district officials, Gurgaon police and National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) representatives.

Badshahpur MLA Rao Dharampal told Fernandes about the problems being faced by people from mainly the five villages of Khandsa, Naharpur, Kherki, Narsingpur and Khatola.

The cremation ground for these villages was on the other side of the National Highway and the villagers had to face great hardships in cremating the dead. In the scenario, a flyover at Honda Chowk was the only solution, the MLA added.

Fernandes assured the villagers that by the end of this month he would meet Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda to arrive at a concrete solution in the matter.
