NHAI connects Amritsar on ₹60,000-cr Delhi-Katra e-way
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has included Amritsar in the amended alignment of the Delhi-Katra high-speed expressway. The authorities are now re-evaluating the alignment on the directions of the Ministry for Road Transport and Highways, Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, who said that Amritsar has been included in the project and an amendment is being introduced accordingly. Modalities are being worked out so that the alignment touches Manawala, about 17-18 km from Amritsar city, before tilting towards Gurdaspur. In the last alignment, the expressway was supposed to divert 60 km ahead of Amritsar city through Kartarpur (near Jalandhar). The land acquisition process for the project has already started in parts of Malwa and Majha. Once executed, the traveling time span between Amritsar and New Delhi will be four-and-a-half-hour drive and a three-hour drive to Katra. The e-way will promote religious tourism by connecting two major shrines — the Golden Temple in Amritsar and Mata Vaishno Devi at Katra in J&K.
