This week, the Chief Engineer of Gorakhpur Development Authority and the Municipal Corporation will inspect this colony for the last time. The authority had also started the effort to transfer the colony in June 2020. But the Municipal Corporation has approved the transfer of Budh Vihar Part A, B and C, Amrapali Yojana.
