The wait is Over in Faridabad
Metro started operations in Ballabgarh
It is a very good news for all
Ballabgarian that Delhi metro has been started on Monday (19th November 2019).
It will be convenient for all Ballabgaian that they can travel to Delhi,
Gurgaon, and Noida very easily.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today inaugurated the Kundli
Manesar Palwal Expressway or the KMP Expressway. The KMP Expressway was
scheduled to be completed in 2009 but missed multiple deadlines due to problems
in land acquisition.
This expressway will act as a ring road around Delhi and
could also reduce heavy vehicle traffic by diverting up to 50,000 commercial
vehicles away from Delhi region. As KMP Expressway goes fully operational, all
vehicles which are going southwards and westwards will be able to do so without
entering Delhi, thereby reducing the traffic in the city.
The basic idea is to connect Northern Haryana with
neighbouring states via a high-speed road, especially for heavy commercial
vehicles. On the sidelines of the inauguration of the KMP Expressway or the
Western Peripheral Expressway.
The total cost of acquiring the land was ₹ 2,788 crores.
The Expressway will connect NH-1 which goes towards Panipat, at Kundi, with
NH-10 near Bahadurgarh. Other connections will be made at NH-8 at Manesar and
at NH-2 on the Delhi-Agra highway near Palwal. In total, the Expressway will
cover five districts which are Sonipat, Gurugram, Palwal, Mewat and Jhajjar,
all in Haryana. The total KMP Expressway length is 135.6 kilometres and it is a
Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) project.
Considering both the eastern peripheral expressway and the
western peripheral expressway into account, the total route is about 270
kilometres long. The entire KMP Expressway project has been developed over
2,846 acres of land.
The KMP Expressway has eight small bridges, six large
bridges along with 34 underpasses and 64 pedestrian crossings. Also, the
six-lane expressway will have numerous refreshment centres, parking lots,
police stations, petrol pumps dotted along.
In a bid to offer safety for commuters, a chain-link fence
has been installed along the entire length of the expressway in addition to
three metres wide metal beam barriers.
Apart from this
PM Modi also inaugurated the Ballabhgarh Metro
station, situated near Faridabad.
With this new link, the commute time from Kashmere Gate to Ballabhgarh will reduce from 2:30 hours to
just 75 minutes. Another special thing of Raja Nahar Singh Metro station of Ballabhgarh is that the station is on five
floors.
Raja
Nahar Singh Station is in Ballabhgarh and
is surrounded by Ballabhgarh Inter-State
Bus Terminal and Ballabhgarh Railway Station. This station is a five-storey
building with two commercial floors above the track level. This station has
parking on the other side of National Highway II.

Now there
are too many projects that the on the verge of competition and people of
Haryana have got another reason to rejoice. With these new developments, we can
expect fewer cars on the road and hence less pollution.
Next task
for this Government is to start a mission where tree plantation should be taken
up and this should be implemented at the fast pace so the Indians can get
access to safe and pollution free (better than the quality of air at present)
air.
For that,
we all must join hands along with Government of India and start planting trees
as much as possible.
