Karnal Yamunanagar Railway Line | National Highway 344M | The Dawn
The Haryana Government has given its approval for the Karnal-Yamunanagar rail line project, fulfilling a long-pending demand of people of the region for a direct and fast rail connectivity between the two important cities. An official spokesperson said the rail line would strengthen the original transport infrastructure by providing a fast, safe, economical, comfortable and reliable mobility option to people of Haryana. The government approved the detailed project report (DPR) on July 20 after incorporating all suggestions made by the Ministry of Railways to the draft report submitted earlier in September 2019.
Haryana Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (HRIDC), a joint venture between the Ministry of Railways and Government of Haryana, finalised the DPR at an estimated cost of Rs 883.78 crore. The project shall be implemented in a period of about four years.
The spokesperson said the rail line would take off from the existing Karnal railway station on the Delhi-Ambala railway line and would connect at the existing Jagadhri-workshop railway station on the Ambala-Saharanpur Railway line. The new line will act as a feeder route for the eastern DFC, having an inter-change point with the Railways at Kalanaur station (adjoining Yamunanagar) by providing direct connectivity to Karnal, Panipat and other parts of central Haryana. The existing rail route from Karnal to Yamunanagar, via Ambala Cantt, has a route length of 121 km. The comparative road distance between Karnal and Yamunanagar is 67 km.
The proposed railway line, with a route length of 64.6 km, will, thus, provide the shortest link between these two cities and shall greatly reduce the travel time for passengers and freight traffic. The official spokesperson said the major benefits from the project would include direct and faster connectivity between Karnal and Yamunanagar, faster transportation of passengers as the travel distance would get reduced by 50 km and speedier access to market for agricultural produce, plywood and timber, industrial products, metal industry, fertiliser etc from rural regions like Indri, Ladwa and Radaur.
National Highway-344M
National Highway-344M being built to connect Jaipur Highway-Rohtak Road-GT Karnal Road will be 100 meters wide in the entire distance. It was decided to make this highway to be built in Delhi with a length of about 43 km, from 13.1 km to 20.7 km, earlier 80 meters wide. Now land of four villages has been acquired to widen this road in this distance. A plan was prepared to build National Highway-344M from Shiv Murti in Rangpuri to Bakoli village to connect Jaipur Highway-GT Karnal Road. This highway will originate from Dwarka, Najafgarh, Mundka, Rohini, Bawana, Narela areas. The National Highways Authority of India will build this highway from Bharthal Chowk to Bakoli in a length of about 38 km. The authority has decided to make this highway 100 meters wide instead of 80 meters from 13.1 km to 20.7 km in villages Mohammadpur Majri, Madanpur Dabas, Ranikheda and Rasulpur villages.
With the construction of National Highway-344M, it will be easy to travel from different areas of South Haryana and Delhi to Bahadurgarh, Rohtak, Sonipat and adjoining areas. In fact, a road will be built to connect Bakarwala to Bahadurgarh bypass of Delhi with this highway. Similarly, there is a plan to build a road connecting Sonepat bypass from Bawana to Harewali border. This road is also part of the project to build this highway.
