Urban Elevated Dwarka Expressway is the country's first 8-lane expressway, which will reduce the distance from Delhi to Gurugram from 1 hour to 20 minutes. Travelling from Delhi to Gurugram will become easier, and you will get freedom from long traffic jams and travelling to and from IGI Airport will also become easier. People commuting from Noida to Gurugram will also get relief. Travel time from Gurugram to Faridabad Manesar, Sonipat, Panipat and Chandigarh will be reduced by 50 per cent. The country's shortest expressway and its cost
This expressway, which is 29 km long, is currently the country's shortest expressway. Its width is about 34 meters. 18.9 km of this expressway is in Haryana, and the remaining 10.1 km is in Delhi, which starts from the Shiv statue in Mahipalpur and ends at Kherki Daula toll plaza in Gurugram. More than two lakh metric tons of steel has been used, while 20 lakh cubic meters of cement has been used to build this expressway.
More than Rs 9000 crore has been spent on building this expressway. 8-lane expressway built on a single pillar
The Dwarka Expressway is an 8-lane expressway on a single pillar. 23 km of it is elevated, and 4 km is underground. That is, vehicles will run only on the flyover and inside the tunnel. There is also a place on the Dwarka Expressway where it becomes four storeys. At this place, there is an underpass below, above which there is a service lane and above it is a flyover and above it, the Dwarka Expressway passes. This place has been named Multi Utility Corridor. This part is near Sector 82 of Gurugram. India's widest tunnel, Dwarka Expressway Route
The country's widest 3.6 km tunnel has been built on the Dwarka Expressway. Flyovers and underpasses have been built. Three-lane service roads have also been built on both sides. This expressway starts from Shiv Murti on NH-8 and passes through Dwarka Sector 21, Gurugram border and Basai and ends at Khidki Daula toll plaza. Vehicles will run at a fast speed, toll plaza-free expressway
Dwarka Expressway is the country's first physical toll plaza free expressway. Dwarka Expressway will work with a free-flow tolling system. After the installation of this system, the only toll plaza on this expressway will also end. In the next few months, the 'free flow tolling' system will be implemented on this expressway. This means that you will not have to stop anywhere on this highway and pay a toll. On this expressway, you will be able to enjoy the journey by driving vehicles at a speed of 100 km per hour. Toll tax on Dwarka Express
There will be no toll plaza, but it does not mean that toll tax will not be levied. Toll will be deducted here with the help of advanced readers scanning FASTag and high-power cameras reading the number plates of vehicles on the overhead gantry. Toll tax collection on this expressway will be done through a satellite system. NHAI has made preparations to install a satellite-based tolling system for this. Toll tax will be collected on this expressway through the country's first Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system. That is, there will be no toll plaza on this expressway, and neither will there be any employees. How much toll tax on the Dwarka Expressway?

Delhi-Dehradun Expressway nears completion, may get open on..., plan is to complete work by...
New Delhi: PM Narendra Modi inaugurated the Delhi section of Dwarka Expressway and Urban Extension Road-2 in Delhi on Sunday, 17 August. After this, discussions have started on the projects going on in Ghaziabad as to when they will be inaugurated. Recently, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari had talked about the inauguration of the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway by October. In such a situation, it is expected that people can get the gift of the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway on this Diwali. According to the NBT, it was found that about 15% work is still left on the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway. How many parts are ready? The part from Akshardham to Baghpat is completely ready. 10% work is still left in the Baghpat to Saharanpur part. At the same time, about 5 per cent work is left from Saharanpur to Chhutman. The target is to complete both these remaining works by October. The work between Chhutman and Dehradun has been completed. In such a situation, it is being claimed that the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway will be operational by October, according to the NBT reports. How much work is remaining to be completed? At the same time, if NHAI officials are to be believed, more than 90 per cent of the work has been completed, and the remaining work is being completed rapidly. The work will be completed within two months, but sources say that it will be difficult to complete the work within three to four months, according to reports. What was the deadline? It is known that this project was to be completed in March 2024, but the completion of the project is getting delayed. Earlier, some part of it was set to open in January 2025, but later it was postponed. This expressway will mainly connect Delhi, Baghpat, Muzaffarnagar, Shamli, Saharanpur and then Dehradun. Although six lanes have been constructed at most places, for future needs, it can also be expanded from 8 to 12 lanes.

Trinamool Leader Anubrata Mondal Gets Bail In Police Officer Abuse Case
Bolpur: A court in West Bengal's Birbhum district on Monday granted bail to TMC leader Anubrata Mondal after he surrendered in the court and moved an anticipatory relief petition in connection with the case of alleged use of abusive and derogatory language during a telephonic conversation with a police officer. Mondal's plea on health grounds was accepted by Judicial Magistrate Banikbrata Dutta of Bolpur Subdivision Court on a surety of Rs 1,000 and on condition that he will continue to cooperate with the probe and meet the investigating officer (IO) when summoned, court officials said. In a leaked four-minute telephonic conversation between Mondal and Bolpur police station inspector-in-charge Litan Halder on May 29 this year, the authenticity of which PTI couldn't independently verify, the Birbhum Trinamool Congress leader was heard hurling invectives at the police officer and threatening his wife and mother. Left red-faced by the audio-clip, the party issued him a four-hour apology deadline and a suo motu FIR was lodged against him by the police. Mondal was issued police summons and his security details withdrawn. Faced with party annoyance, Mondal tendered written apologies to both the police officer and the TMC state president Subrata Bakshi but avoided responding to the initial summons from Bolpur Police. On June 6, seven days after the purported audio clip surfaced, Mondal appeared before the Bolpur SDPO where his cell phone was reportedly inspected. Mondal arrived at the Bolpur Subdivision Court around 10.40 am on Monday for his voluntary surrender and his bail hearing was taken up post 2 pm. "The court granted him bail considering his age and the physical ailments he suffers from. There are no pre-conditions to his bail," said Nupur Dutta Banerjee, Mondal's counsel. "I had submitted before the court that the IO in this case did not duly comply with the notice served to Mondal under Section 35(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, which outlines the procedure for police to issue a notice to individuals in cognisable offenses where arrest isn't immediately necessary," said Phiroj Pal, government lawyer, confirming that he opposed the bail prayer. "Secondly, we are still not privy to the police's case diary (CD) and have no idea how far the investigations in this case have so far progressed. We wanted the court to wait till we had the CD in our hand," he added. Pal said that the court was prima facie satisfied with the petitioner's submission that Mondal has cooperated with the police and that there has been no progress in the probe for a formidable period. In September 2024, Mondal was granted bail in the multi-crore cattle smuggling case when he stepped out of the Tihar Jail after remaining imprisoned for over two years.
