Haryana Public Works (Building and Roads) Minister, Rao Narbir Singh on Monday said that the construction work of Badshahpur elevated highway from Netaji Subhash Chowk at Sohna road would commence from September 21 and it would be got completed before Vidhan Sabha Elections to be held next year.
The Minister was speaking after laying foundation stone of Choupal of Prajapati Samaj at village Badshahpur in district Gurugram.
He said that the construction work of this elevated highway has been allotted to a company.
After completion of this elevated highway, it would take only 8 to 10 minutes to passengers to travel from Rajiv Chowk to Badshahpur and 18 to 20 minutes for Sohna. It would also reduce traffic congestion at Netaji Subhash Chowk and village Badshahpur, he said.
Rao Narbir Singh further said that his political career began in 1987 and since then there was a demand of university in Gurugram. This demand was fulfilled by the BJP Government and even classes have started in the university now.
Apart from this, construction work on boundary wall of medical college at Kherki Majra has also started. The work on 300-bedded hospital in Sector 67 would be undertaken in PPP mode and its tenders would be floated in October, 2018, he said.
The Minister said that it is a matter of pride for us that Dwarka Expressway, the costliest road of India would be established at a cost of about Rs 7,000 crore.
Even the KMP Expressway would be ready by this month which would entirely change the picture of Gurugram, he added.
Rao Narbir pointed out that after last year’s Diwali, there was an increase in pollution in Gurugram, but after the KMP Expressway would become functional it would help in reducing the pollution because maximum diesel vehicles would pass through this expressway without entering the city.
On this occasion, the Minister also appealed to the people to plant more trees so as to provide clean environment to the future generations.
