Ahead of Union Home Minister Amit Shah's visit to Bhopal, former minister Deepak Joshi has written a letter to him demanding that the foundation stone laying ceremony for the West Bhopal bypass be stopped.

In such a situation, before proceeding with the project politically and symbolically, its environmental impact and the objections of local people should be independently investigated.
