The Prime Minister Narendra Modi would inaugurate the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal expressway through video conferencing on November 10.
“Modi will inaugurate the KMP expressway at 10:30 am on November 10. The 135 kilometer long Kundli Manesar Palwal expressway would cover five districts of Haryana namely Sonepat, Jhajjar, Gurugram, Mewat and Palwal,” said Haryana Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment, Krishan Kumar Bedi while talking to the mediapersons here.
He said that the KMP expressway would not only benefit the northern Haryana but also would ease the traffic in the national capital area. It would join the national expressway-II linking Ghaziabad and Noida of Uttar Pradesh, and would provide fast speed connectivity to the parts of southern states with south Haryana districts of Gurugram, Faridabad and Palwal, the Minister said.
The State Government has also planned to develop five new townships in the two km area on either side of the KMP Expressway and the area will be named as Panchagram. The government has already prepared the draft bill of Panchgram Development Authority.
Bedi said that Haryana Government has given several major reliefs to the people of the state, on the occasion of Haryana Day which includes abolishing the practice of Lal Dora, monthly pension to the former Sarpanches, presidents of District Councils and Block Committees of the state, inclusion of Chowkidars in the Ayushman Bharat Yojana and life insurance of Rs 10 lakh to those employees working on risky jobs like lineman, assistant lineman, fireman, sewer-man, fire driver and others.
He said that the state has already included nambardars of the State in the list of beneficiaries under Ayushman Yojna. Now, chowkidars have also been included in the scheme, he added.
The Minister also said that roads of 3/4 karam in rural areas would be made concrete. In this current financial year, 25 kms roads in every Vidhan Sabha constituency would be made concrete. For this, a budget of Rs 300 crore has been provided.
Now, all water courses in fields would be constructed at 40 feet per acre instead of 24 feet per acre, he added.
