HSV-built Golf Course Extension Road (Vatika Chowk to Ghata Chowk) construction
2016
The road segment from Vatika Chowk to Ghata Chowk was constructed in 2016 by the Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP). The project later saw plans for a four-lane road on both sides, but due to low traffic a three-lane road was constructed and the road was subsequently handed over to GMDA with portions remaining unpaved.
