Centre to build e-way to connect Delhi and Ludhiana
New Delhi- A new expressway has been planned to be built between Delhi and Ludhiana similar to the stretch between Delhi and Jaipur. In this regard, the road transport and highways ministry has planned a meeting of chief ministers from Punjab, Haryana and Delhi on January 16. Once the three chief ministers give their consent to the proposal the e-way plan will be formulated.
As per sources, the proposal to build the new highway with complete access control was initiated by Punjab government, considering the need to have high-speed connectivity.
Haryana government has already agreed to the proposal. Both Haryana and Punjab have proposed that a stretch branching out from this expressway can join Chandigarh, said an official source. Earlier, it was announced that an expressway will be built between Delhi and Chandigarh.
The two states are pushing the new plan as it will surely provide excellent connectivity to the two states from Delhi. And it is expected that the road project will highly influence property prices along this corridor and speed up urban development.
While it is difficult to get land parcels along the existing highway stretches, the government has to build greenfield (new alignment) expressways for faster traffic movement.
Along with planning over new Delhi-Ludhiana e-way, the Centre is working on the Delhi-Jaipur expressway. The alignment plan for the e-way has been finalised and seven townships are also coming up along the stretch.
The government should make its master plan on a framework of expressways or new highways in which only few players who are aware of the proposed stretches and alignments are not benefited. The plan should not be such that it offers profit only to few people through real estate by investing on key patches, said an official.
