What happened
The foundation stone for three foot overbridges (FOBs) on the Delhi-Saharanpur-Dehradun Expressway was laid by Union Minister of State for Road Transport and Highways Harsh Malhotra in East Delhi. The approved projects, located near Bhajanpura-Garhi Mendu, are intended to provide safer pedestrian crossings while allowing uninterrupted vehicular movement on the busy corridor. The total cost for the three FOBs is estimated at Rs 12.8 crore.

Why it matters
The initiative is part of the central government’s broader effort to develop modern, citizen-centric infrastructure. The FOBs are equipped with lifts to improve accessibility for various users, including senior citizens and students. The projects also include plans for parking facilities beneath the elevated corridor.
Multiple politicians, including B.L. Verma and Harsh Malhotra, laid papers in the Rajya Sabha on July 28, 2026.
