The construction of the Mansa Devi entrance gate which has led to several road diversions and caused huge inconvenience to the residents is all set to be in place by December this year.
"Work is on in full swing and we have completed nearly 60 per cent of the construction.
Until then to ease traffic flow, diversions have been created on both sides of the road for thousands of residents of the area", said Viney Kalra, XEN, Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), Incharge of the project for HUDA.
Another official of the HUDA added on condition of anonymity that it was the death of a labourer during a roof collapse that prompted the need to close both sides of the main road for traffic and create diversions.
The 60-feet high gate is being constructed at the entrance point of the Mansa Devi road, to make the Mata Mansa Devi Shrine as illustrious and beautified as the ones at Vaishno Devi and Akshardham.
The project cost that runs in crores is being funded by the Mata Mansa Devi Shrine Board.
"The entrance has been designed by the Architectural department of Haryana and will have domes with shapes similar to that of the main Mansa Devi temple. The colour will be similar to that of the temple but we are still to decide on the exact colours," said an official of the Mata Mansa Devi Shrine Board on the condition of anonymity.
While speaking to Newsline, Suman Malik, a resident of the area, said, "Its good that the entrance gate is coming up but the authorities should provide a smooth diversion road for the thousands of residents passing through the area everyday."
