"We are here to ensure that no commuter walks through the skywalk via a staircase unless it is completed," Manish, security personnel deployed told ANI.

"As there are no lifts here, as of now, and the nearby areas are unhygienic, the residents here hope for the early completion of the skywalk. To ensure ease in connectivity of the metro with the road, the skywalk will help save a lot of time and would also give relief from traffic jams here besides benefitting the nearby shopkeepers," he added.

Awaiting the sooner functioning of the skywalk, one of the nearby shopowners Rohan said that the increased movement of commuters at the Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus metro station would benefit the nearby shopowners.

"It would have been very good if Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia would have inaugurated the skywalk the day the underpass was set in motion," said Ashok.

Notably, the underpass was inaugurated by Sisodia on July 2. (ANI)
