Haryana approves 32-km Gurugram-Faridabad metro line

The Haryana government has approves 32.14 km long route of the metro line connecting Gurugram to Faridabad with 12 stations. The preparation of DPR report is currently under process and once completed the same would be sent to the Union ministry of housing and urban affairs for final approval, state CM said in a media statement, adding that the route of the metro for connecting Faridabad and Gurugarm starts from Bata Chowk Faridabad to Vatika Chowk Gurugram with stations including Bata Chowk, Pyali Chowk, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Marg, Badhal Enclave, Pali Chowk, Police Chowki Manger, Gwal Pahari, Sector-56, Sushant Lok, Sushant Lok-3, Rosewood City and Vatika Chowk. It may be recalled that the project was announced by the state CM in 2016 and that the proposed linking of Faridabad to Gurugram through Metro would reduce the vehicular traffic flow between the two cities. In the absence of a public transport system on this route, a large number of people travel every day in personal vehicles for work causing routine traffic snarls.
