CHANDIGARH, MAY 5
The 800 crore project of six laning of
about 180 kms Badarpur-Agra section falling on Nation Highway -2
would be completed within a period of two years. About 74 km of this
section falls in Haryana and as many as nine flyovers would be constructed on
it.
This was stated by Union Road, Transport and Highway Minister Mr CP Joshi who laid
the foundation stone of the project at Hodal of Palwal district today in the
presence of Haryana Chief Minister Mr Bhupinder Singh Hooda.
Addressing
the gathering Mr.CP Joshi said that the Central Government under the guidance
of UPA chairperson Mrs Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan
Singh is ensuring all round development of the country. Likewise the
development of Haryana is taking place under the leadership of Mr.Hooda. He
said that PPP mode is also adopted for ensuring development. He said that
National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has constructed National
Highways of more than 80000 kms long. The project which has been
initiated today would be completed within stipulated time frame, he
asserted.
Speaking
on the occasion, Mr Hooda said that during the tenure of NDA government, no
significant work was carried out by NHAI in Haryana. In sharp contrast to
it, during the tenure of UPA government projects costing Rs 11 thousand crore
has either been completed in Haryana or are in progress. He said that out of
the total length of highway which is 180 kms, 74 kms falls in Haryana and under
this project, nine flyovers would be constructed within the boundaries of the
state. He urged Mr. Joshi to construct more flyovers or under passes in the
state for the convenience of the people. In case any financial support is
needed, Haryana Government is ready to cooperate with the central government
for this purpose, he added.
Mr Hooda said that in the last eight years a sum of Rs 14620 crore has been
spent on the construction of roads, bridges and buildings. Palwal was given the
status of a district for ensuring its full development. After Faridabad
got connected with Delhi Metro, it was being extended upto Ballabhgarh and in
due course of time, it would also reach Palwal, he added.
Speaking
on the occasion Haryana Industries Minister Mr. Randeep Singh Surjewala said
that during the tenure of Mr.Joshi, pace of NHAI projects has accelerated. He
said that with the six laning of NH-2, the development of entire Brij region
would take place and would improve the connectivity of Haryana with Mathura
region. He said NHAI would bear the expenditure of the project and wherever
necessary, approval should be sought to construct u-turns for the easy
conveyance of the people residing nearby, he added.
Mr.Deepender
Singh Hooda and Mr. Avtar Singh Badana both Members of Parliament were also
present on the occasion.
