India, Feb. 14 -- The delay in shifting underground utilities on the road stretch between Hero Honda Chowk and Umang Bhardwaj Chowk has allegedly slowed down the Gurugram Metro extension project work, Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL) said on Friday.

During a meeting with officials from National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA), GMRL officials asked NHAI to expedite the shifting of the sewage line and other utilities at the earliest so that construction work can resume.

The first phase of the Gurugram Metro project spanning 15 kms, is under construction from Millennium City Centre Metro station to Sector 9, including the 3.2 kms stretch from Hero Honda Chowk to Umang Bhardwaj Chowk....
