Gurgaon metro development authority (GMDA)

Shortly after concerns were raised by environmentalists over a proposed road through the Aravali Biodiversity Park, DLF, along with the Gurgaon metro development authority (GMDA) has proposed to connect the NH-8 with MG Road by building an underpass beneath the Park. Vice-Chairman, DLF, Rajiv Singh, suggested that the possibility of connecting NH-8 and MG Road beneath the biodiversity park is being explored.‖ He added that the corporates are willing to share the additional cost of connectivity. The agency will now study the feasibility of the link, said a senior GMDA official, adding that the underpass might be a solution as it will help establish an alternative link between Delhi and Gurugram without sabotaging the Park. The initial proposal was to develop a road from Rajokri in Delhi to Gurugram cutting through the Aravali Biodiversity Park, however, the project faced several protests and opposition from citizens and environmentalists and the project eventually was put on hold.
