The Delhi government will not construct a new foot overbridge outside Jawaharlal Nehru stadium and instead make arrangements in consultation with the Delhi police for entry of spectators to the venue.
A high-level meeting, chaired by chief minister Sheila Dikshit today deliberated on the possible alternative arrangements and decided to finalise it after taking views of the police.
An under-construction foot overbridge collapsed outside the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium yesterday injuring 27 people.
"We are making alternative arrangements," Dikshit said after the meeting.
The bridge, which was intended to be a showpiece and connect the parking lot of the stadium with other side of the street in Lodhi Road area in South Delhi, caved in when construction work was underway.
