Looks like it, alright. But, what is surprising are
1) Was this major bit left out of the original tender?
2) If it had indeed been included, which is more likely, what has caused the re-tendering now?
3) Who is responsible for this inordinate delay, and consequent costs?
4) Why were the people concerned sleeping over it, till the public started mounting pressure?
5) Has the Railways, and other bodies involved, learnt any lessons?
6) And, most importantly, why are the Railways (as also the other concerned bodies) not giving updates on the project, on their own?
Well, going by the experience, the re-tendering doesn't mean the job will be over in the next four months allocated for completion. Perhaps the team here needs to closely monitor the progress to ensure that there are no further hold-ups.

I think this is the balance work thats needs to finish the flyover and mentions the time period as 4 months from Jan end.(Think thats when the tenders get awarded).I think the pressure from the work group has helped.

This retendering appears to be both Good and Bad. Good in the sense that work has restarted which was dead for last 6-8 months. But bad in the sense that it may be more delayed than 4 months from Jan end stipulated in tender period.

Initially thoughts were to wait till Jan 19 and after that monitor the progress. But on second thoughts, this tender is NO assurity of flyover completion but to another 1+4 months delay under best case.
I think group should continue as before instead of waiting and monitoring.
Two questions that authorties needs to answer are:
1)Why Mr Agarwal gave a 31dec as completion of flyover ?
2)When will it complete ?
