Union Cabinet meet today, likely to clear Zirakpur bypass project
The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved two railway projects aimed at removing congestion, Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said.
It approved construction of a six-lane access controlled Zirakpur bypass with a length of 19.2 km worth Rs 1878.31 crore in Punjab and Haryana on ‘hybrid annuity mode’.
The Union Cabinet is likely to okay construction of a six-lane Zirakpur bypass between Punjab and Haryana during its meeting scheduled to take place today.
The bypass, which is to be built at a cost of Rs 1,800 crore, will help ease traffic congestion between the two states, especially on the Delhi-Chandigarh national highway.
In addition to this, the Union Cabinet is also likely to clear a water management and irrigation scheme, which will help in water conservation and improving irrigation facilities.
It may also give ex-post facto approval to the Waqf Amendment Act, which became applicable from April 8 onwards.
