For the purpose, the development authority has already submitted a proposal to HSIIDC, seeking land from its land bank to change the proposed alignment of the eight-lane arterial road, without disturbing the electric towers.
Sources said HSIIDC had acquired large chunks of barren land in the area years ago to create green belts, and a major portion of those plots were still lying vacant.
"We have sought land from HSIIDC. If we get it, we can change the alignment of the road. And then, there will be no need to shift the towers and the project can be completed, more or less, in time," said Huda administrator Yashpal Yadav.
The central peripheral road is proposed to be 3.2km long and 90 metre wide. Thus, Huda is looking for additional 30 metre land all along the 3.2km stretch so that it could tweak the alignment, without moving the towers.
"Otherwise, we will ask for at least 15-20 metre land along the stretch and shift the towers to clear the way," Yadav added. Nevertheless, shifting those towers will require approval from the power ministry, which may delay the road.
Huda had acquired 102 acres for the construction of the 3.2km long road and paid around Rs 700 crore as compensation to oustees. However, when Huda started cross-section planning, it found that several high-tension electric towers along the length of the proposed road.
