Prime Minister Modi dedicates KMP Express to the nation

 

CHANDIGARH, NOV 19
The Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi dedicated the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal Expressway also called as Western Peripheral expressway to the people of the State from village Sultanpur district Gurugram today. The expressway which is 136.65 km long has been built at a cost of Rs. 6434 crore including land acquired at a cost of Rs 2,788 crore and construction done at a cost of Rs.3646 crore.
        It is pertinent to mention that the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway was rescheduled to be completed by February 19, 2019 but has been completed before the fixed date.
         Various facilities have been provided on KMP expressway for the convenience of commuters including vetiver grossing which easily absorbs carbon particles. Fountains, historical and cultural monuments connected to Shrimad Bhagwad Gita and Yoga have been placed at various locations to improve the aesthetic look of the expressway.
        Apart from this, near toll plaza a world class Art and Culture Gallery has been set up to depict the project development history through 3D Holographic models. For the convenience and safety of commuters, trauma centre and police patrolling vehicle have been deputed. And in every 14 Km, one ambulance and one recovery van with a helpline number have been stationed for speedy response in case of accidents or emergencies. The Expressway has been developed as a green corridor. The KMP expressway has been constructed by 200 engineers and 2500 labourers.
         Thus construction of this expressway would provide high speed link of Northern Haryana with Southern Districts and provide uninterrupted high-speed link for traffic, especially Commercial traffic, from Haryana to neighbouring States. It would also decongest the road traffic from Delhi and thereby reduce pollution.

BALLABHGARH METRO LINK:  Mr. Narendra Modi today inaugurated the Ballabhgarh Metro link connecting  Escorts Mujesar – Raja Nahar Singh (Ballabhgarh) section with the Kashmere Gate – Escorts Mujesar from village Sultanpur in district Gurugram.
          The 3.2 km long Escorts Mujesar – Raja Nahar Singh (Ballabhgarh) section of the Kashmere Gate – Escorts Mujesar corridor also known as the Violet Line is now ready for passenger operations.  This extension of Delhi Metro's Violet Line consists of two stations – Sant Surdas (Sihi) and Raja Nahar Singh.   Ballabhgarh has become the fourth city in Haryana to get Metro connectivity after Gurugram, Faridabad and Bahadurgarh. After the opening of this extension, the entire Kashmere Gate – Raja Nahar Singh Metro corridor will become 46.6 kilometres long.
          Currently, 25.8 km of Metro lines are operational across Haryana. After the opening of this section, the total length of Metro kilometres in Haryana will become 29 kilometres. All trains running on this section are manufactured in India.
          The work of this section of Metro Line was started in February, 2015. The Escorts Mujesar – Raja Nahar Singh (Ballabhgarh) section will be extremely crucial from the point of view of connectivity for the city of Ballabhgarh, Faridabad, South-East Delhi and Central Delhi areas. Ballabhgarh is an upcoming urban settlement which is an industrial city. Large numbers of people travel every day for their professional requirements from Ballabhgarh to Delhi and vice-versa. This corridor will be of help to these people.
          The Raja Nahar Singh Station in Ballabhgarh would now connect Ballabhgarh Interstate Bus Terminal and Ballabhgarh Railway Station. This station is five storey building having two commercial floors above track level. This station is having parking on the other site of the National Highway–2 which will be directly connected to the station via a Foot Over Bridge. Similarly, Sant Surdas (Sihi) Station has been set up near National Council for Cement and Building Material Institute. Lifts and escalators facility has been provided on both stations.
SVS UNIVERSITY: Mr. Modi also laid the foundation stone of Shri Vishwakarma Skill University, village Dudhola, Palwal from village Sultanpur in district Gurugram by pressing the button. A sum of over Rs 1,000 crore would be spent on setting up this University.
       This Skill University would impart skill training to the youth and encourage them to be self employed. The university campus at village Dudhola, would be developed over 82.7 acres. This year, tenders amounting to Rs 389.24 crore have been floated for construction of university building. The construction work would be carried out in three phases and there is a plan to complete the first phase by 2020.
