Local MLA NK Sharma, who took up the case with the NHAI at the Punjab government level for public interest, said the flyover would provide a respite from frequent traffic jams and fatal accidents at Dera Bassi. Local traders apprehend that with the coming up of the flyover, their business would be adversely affected. The residents have welcomed the decision of the Punjab government.

Experts are of the opinion that the authorities should plan the flyover keeping in view the rapid growth in the number of vehicles and the population growth for the next 50 years.
