NDTV Report: Can Dwarka Expressway End Delhi-Gurugram Traffic Nightmares?

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated two major projects -- a key stretch of the Urban Extension Road-II and the Delhi section of Dwarka Expressway - to ease traffic congestion in the city and the National Capital Region (NCR). Here's what NDTV found during the road test of the Dwarka Expressway: The new 10.1-km section of the Dwarka Expressway, developed at Rs 5,360 crore, provides connectivity to Yashobhoomi, the Delhi Metro's Blue and Orange lines, the upcoming Bijwasan railway station, and the Dwarka cluster bus depot. This stretch comprises two sections: a 5.9-km section from the Shiv Murti intersection to the Road Under Bridge at Dwarka Sector-21, and a 4.2-km section from Dwarka Sector-21 to the Delhi-Haryana Border, which provides direct connectivity to the Urban Extension Road-II. It took 20 minutes to travel from one end of the Dwarka Expressway on the Gurugram border to the Mahipalpur region of Delhi. The newly-launched section saves commuters a lot of time on this stretch, but it is the same bottleneck once they enter the Delhi side. It took about 65 minutes from the start of the Dwarka Expressway in Gurugram to reach the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi. Urban Extension Road II The other project Prime Minister Modi opened on Sunday was the Urban Extension Road II (UER 2). The six-lane expressway, which is over 75 km long, starts from NH-44 in Alipur and passes through Rohini, Mundka, Najafgarh, and Dwarka. It ends at Delhi-Gurugram Expressway on NH-48 near Mahipalpur. PM Modi has opened the Alipur-Dichaon Kalan stretch of Urban Extension Road-II with new links to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat. Built at Rs 5,580 crore, it aims at reducing the traffic on the capital's Inner and Outer Ring Roads, and choke points like Mukarba Chowk, Dhaula Kuan and NH-09.

‘Why should prisoner foot bill?': Delhi HC reserves order on MP Engineer Rashid's plea against cost to attend Parliament

The Delhi High Court Monday orally asked the government why Baramulla MP Abdul Rashid Sheikh alias Engineer Rashid should bear the expenses when he is attending Parliament while on custody parole, and not on interim bail. The court reserved its order on Rashid's plea seeking a waiver on the cost to be borne by the MP for his security and travel arrangements for attending House proceedings. The matter was heard by a bench of Justices Vivek Chaudhary and Anup Bhambhani. 'What I'm very concerned about…this man has not even gotten his liberty back (through bail or interim bail)…the jail is travelling with him (while he is out on custody parole), and when the jail travels with him, it is for jail to incur the expense…,' Justice Bhambhani remarked orally. Addressing Lok Sabha two weeks ago, the Independent MP from Baramulla began with a disclaimer: 'Please don't stop me for 10-12 minutes, for God's sake. I'm coming from (representing a constituency of) Kashmir, I'm coming from Tihar Jail…' After reading a couplet, he went on to condemn the April 22 Pahalgam attack while emphasising the need to 'win the hearts of Kashmiris to end militancy in Kashmir'. He added, 'It is not a communal issue. It is a political issue. You need to give a political resolution.' The MP went on to say, 'Main aapse puchna chahta hu, isliye nahi ki main aaj Rs 1.5 lakh deke idhar aaya, lekin aap jab mere liye nahi bol sake, aap Kashmiriyo ke liye kya bolenge. (I want to ask you, not because I had to pay Rs 1.5 lakh to attend Parliament, but when you couldn't speak up for me, how will you raise your voice for Kashmiris).' Rashid defeated National Conference leader Omar Abdullah, who is currently the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, in the Baramulla seat by over 2 lakh votes in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. However, he has been lodged in Delhi's Tihar Jail since 2019 in a case of alleged terror funding and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has accused him of using various public platforms to 'propagate the ideology of separatism and secessionism'. He was arrested under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in the NIA case lodged in 2017 against Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) founder Hafiz Saeed and other 'secessionist and separatist' leaders, and a special NIA court in Delhi framed charges against Rashid in March 2022. In March this year, the Delhi High Court, while allowing the MP to attend Parliament during the Budget session, had imposed the condition that the expenses for Rashid's travel and other arrangements shall be borne by him while he is in the state's custody. When the same condition was imposed on him a second time to attend the Monsoon Session of Parliament, Rashid – through his advocate Vikhyat Oberoi – challenged it before the high court. In the cost break-up furnished by the Delhi Government on Monday before the bench, it was submitted that Rashid's Parliament escort party comprises an assistant commissioner of police, an inspector, a sub-inspector, an assistant sub-inspector, and eight head constables. In a notification on November 12, 2024, the Delhi government had fixed the charges for deployment of 'additional police on payment, to private persons, commercial establishments and for other duties' as per provisions of the Delhi Police Act and Delhi Police (Miscellaneous Matters) Rules. However, Senior Advocate N Hariharan, arguing on behalf of Rashid, pointed out that the notification will not be applicable in the MP's case. Justice Bhambhani also questioned the Delhi Prisons counsel on the rationale of the costs. 'He (Rashid) has to pay the salary (of the escort party)?…These people (police personnel being deployed) are not contractual employees of the state. If this ACP or the inspector is on leave, he (the police personnel) would still get a salary. So why should a person who has been granted custody parole, foot the bill for their salary?' A statement from the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Nyayik Abhiraksha Vahini, Delhi Armed Police (NAV DAP) from July 23 reads, 'As per instructions from the Govt of NCT of Delhi, NAV DAP is charging Rs 7,039 for each ACP, Rs 7,176 for each inspector, Rs 5,739 for each SI, Rs 4,783 for each ASI, Rs 4,232 for each HC (head constable) and Rs 3,658 for each constable per shift i.e., per day of five hours and per night of four hours for the deployment of police guard to private persons on payment basis. As such, (considering) 10 hours in a day, then total 02 shifts will be calculated and the estimate cost of custody charge will come to Rs 1,44,795,' for Rashid. The DAV NAP transports prisoners between jails and courts or investigative agency offices.

New tunnel road to ease traffic at Hebbal flyover: Shivakumar

Bengaluru: Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Monday said that a new 1.5 km long tunnel road is being planned from Esteem Mall to Baptist Hospital to ease traffic at Hebbal flyover. Speaking to reporters after declaring open the new loop of Hebbal flyover from Outer Ring Road to Bellary Road, he said, 'Our government is committed to address the traffic congestion in the city. We have discussed the financial implications of the new 1.5 km tunnel road.' 'The new loop has been built at a cost of Rs 80 crore. The other loop from Esteem mall towards Mekhri circle would be read by November. The total cost of the project is Rs 300 crore. The new loops increase the number of lanes from two to six. BDA Chairman has taken the responsibility to get the other loop ready by November,' he explained. 'We have called tenders for 16.5 km tunnel road at a cost of Rs 17,000 crores. I have briefed the CM about manage traffic between Hebbal and Silk Board junctions,' he added. 'I am very transparent. Money is not important; work needs to be completed at any cost. A young MP has accused me of doing projects for money, but I don't need money. BJP hasn't done any major work during its tenure and its leaders haven't brought any funds from the Centre. Asked if the new loops of Hebbal flyover would lead to more traffic at Mekhri circle, he said, 'I can't respond to everything that is said.'
