Vehicles from Noida and Greater Noida which come to Ghaziabad using the Tigri roundabout will have to use other route like the one at Shahberi to come to Ghaziabad.
New Delhi: The Ghaziabad police have announced traffic diversions from October 20 to November 10 on National Highway 9 in the wake of Ganga water pipeline repair works. Traffic police officials said that the Tigri underpass area at Vijay Nagar will be out of bounds for commuters due to the work.
The pipelines will bring Ganga water from the Upper Ganga Canal near Dasna and the water will be taken to the Pratap Vihar treatment plants from where it will be supplied to Ghaziabad and Noida with the help of these pipelines.
Therefore, vehicles from Noida and Greater Noida which come to Ghaziabad using the Tigri roundabout will have to use other route like the one at Shahberi to come to Ghaziabad.
