HRIDC floats tenders for ₹212-cr elevated corridor

The Haryana Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (HRIDC) has floated tenders for an elevated railway line, to be developed within the Thanesar city on Kurukshetra-Narwana rail line with an investment of ₹212.73 crore. The work will start in the next three months and the completion period is 30 months. This project has been a long-pending demand of Thanesar city residents as due to five manned railway crossings on this line they face long traffic jams at several points. CM Manohar Lal Khattar will lay the foundation stone next month. Once the project is completed, the residents of Kurukshetra city will get relief from perennial jams and traffic snarls. To avoid any hardships during the construction period, the project will be built on elevated rail tracks.
