PM inaugurates two major National Highway projects worth ₹11,000 crore

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated two major National Highway projects, the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II), in Delhi on Sunday. The projects--the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II)--have been developed under the Government's comprehensive plan to decongest the capital, with the objective of greatly improving connectivity, cutting travel time, and reducing traffic in Delhi and its surrounding areas. These initiatives reflect Prime Minister Modi's vision of creating world-class infrastructure that enhances ease of living and ensures seamless mobility. The 10.1 km long Delhi section of Dwarka Expressway has been developed at a cost of around Rs. 5,360 crore. The section will also provide multi-modal connectivity to Yashobhoomi, the DMRC Blue Line and Orange Line, the upcoming Bijwasan railway station and the Dwarka Cluster Bus section comprises: Package I: 5.9 km from the Shiv Murti intersection to the Road Under Bridge (RUB) at Dwarka Sector-21. Package II: 4.2 km from Dwarka Sector-21 RUB to the Delhi-Haryana Border, providing direct connectivity to Urban Extension Road-II. The 19 km long Haryana section of the Dwarka Expressway was earlier inaugurated by the Prime Minister in March 2024. PM Modi also inaugurated the Alipur to Dichaon Kalan stretch of Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) along with new links to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, built at a cost of around Rs 5,580 crores. It will ease traffic on Delhi's Inner and Outer Ring Roads and busy points like Mukarba Chowk, Dhaula Kuan, and NH-09. The new spurs will give direct access to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, improve industrial connectivity, cut city traffic, and speed up goods movement in the NCR. Meanwhile, hundreds of supporters have gathered to welcome PM Modi at the Mundka-Bakkarwala Village Toll Plaza in Delhi. PM Modi had also interacted with the construction workers of the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) before the inauguration.

Haryana govt deploys top bureaucrat to rein in Gurugram break down

Gurugram, Aug 17 (PTI) A top state government official has been camping in Gurugram to take stock of the civic issues afflicting the district, ordering officials to clear roads of encroachment and stray cattle, and identifying points vulnerable to waterlogging. The action comes against a backdrop of several instances of severe waterlogging, deaths by electrocution, and complaints about overspilling garbage and roaming cattle. For the past five days, Rajesh Khullar, Chief Principal Secretary to the Haryana Chief Minister, has been holding meetings with local organisations, listening to the residents' complaints, according to an official statement. Khuller has so far had meetings with the officials of the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA), Municipal Corporations of Gurugram and Manesar, Haryana Shaheri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP), and the police. Waterlogging during rains, garbage disposal, stray cattle on roads, solid waste management, and improvement of road infrastructure topped the agenda in these meetings. According to the statement, Khuller urged officials to move beyond routine functioning and take responsibility for visible change. 'You officers should be harbingers of change. The residents should feel the change after you have been posted here," he told the officers posted in Gurugram. On Sunday, Khullar inspected Rajiv Chowk, Farukhnagar-Basai Road, and Dhankaut Road in Gurugram. During his visit, he directed the clearing of the roads of encroachments. Earlier, at a meeting at the PWD Rest House in Gurugram, the GMDA authorities said that a comprehensive drainage plan has been prepared for Gurugram city. Based on last year's experience, the civic bodies have identified 12 locations where waterlogging was observed. Narsinghpur, Khandsa Chowk, Rajeev Chowk, Sector 9, 9A, 10, Umang Bhardwaj Chowk, Tau Devi Lal Stadium, Sector 38, Jwala Mill Road, Sector-28, Chakkarpur, Luxman Vihar, Sector 22-23, Sheetla Mata Road & Krishna Chowk, and Ambience Mall were identified as vulnerable to waterlogging. Water run-off from the Aravali footing was also identified as a cause of the collection of water. According to the statement, the work on Sheetla Mata Devi Medical College & Hospital at Kherki Majra is in progress, and is likely to be handed over to the Health department by the end of the year. The Rs 550-crore project will have an academic block, an undergraduate boys' hostel, a teaching Block, a hospital, a nursing hostel, and a trauma centre.
