Golden chapter in the history of Haryana: CM Saini hails PM Modi for inaugurating road projects

Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini hails PM Modi's Rs 11,000 crore road projects as historic for Delhi-NCR development and connectivity.

"This day will be recorded as a golden chapter in Haryana's development - Nayab Singh Saini"

New Delhi, August 17

Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday termed the inauguration of six road projects worth Rs 11,000 crore as a "historic and memorable day" for Haryana and North India, describing it as a "golden chapter" in the state's development

"Today is a historic and memorable day for Haryana as well as the entire North India. This day will be recorded as a golden chapter in the history of Haryana's and especially NCR's development. Today, six road projects worth Rs 11,000 crore are being inaugurated in Delhi and Haryana at the hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I thank him for these projects," he said.

Earlier today, 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.

Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini, Delhi CM Rekha Gupta, and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari felicitated PM Modi at the inauguration ceremony.

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 Depot. This 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.

While the projects are impressive, I hope the government ensures proper maintenance. Our existing highways deteriorate quickly due to poor upkeep. Also, what about environmental impact assessments for these massive constructions?

As a Gurgaon resident, I can't wait for these projects to be fully operational! The UER-II will make my weekly trips to Sonipat so much easier. Infrastructure development is truly transforming the NCR region. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

11,000 crore is a huge amount! While roads are important, I wish some of this budget could have been allocated to improving public transport too. Metro expansions would benefit more common people in the long run.

The multi-modal connectivity mentioned is impressive - linking expressway with metro, railway and bus depot. This is the kind of integrated planning we need more of in India. Hope other states follow Haryana's example!

My father's business in Bahadurgarh will benefit greatly from improved connectivity. Faster goods movement means lower costs and better margins. These projects will boost the entire NCR economy 💰
