Haryana gives road project to Unitech, DLF

Gurgaon:  Realty majors among those with development projects along Southern Peripheral Road

With pressure mounting from developers who had purchased land in the new sectors adjoining the Southern Peripheral Road (SPR), the Haryana government has decided to award parts of the work to two real estate majors who have upcoming projects along the route.

While the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) has awarded work on a 1.3-km stretch of the 5.2-km road to Unitech Ltd, another 2 km has been given to DLF Ltd. The remaining part of the 90-metre-wide corridor will be awarded, after tendering, to anyone willing to take the project at the price offered six months ago.

Meanwhile, HUDA has written to the government for sanctioning Rs 132 crore to begin work on a 12.5-km stretch of the 18.5-km, 150-metre-wide Northern Peripheral Road (NPR). About 3.5 km of the NPR is under litigation, while another 2 km is in fragments and cannot be built unless the stay orders are vacated.

HUDA, which has floated tenders inviting international consultants for designing these two roads, is also in consultation with officials and experts in New Delhi who have designed various Commonwealth Games projects. “If all goes as per plan, we will float tenders for the NPR by mid-July,” said Pankaj Kumar, Superintending Engineer, HUDA.

The two four-lane corridors will also have 30 metres of green belt on both sides, separate lanes for slow and fast moving traffic, slots for a Metro line and public utilities as well as scope for future expansion. 

“Land acquisition for the road is on priority so that developers can benefit from the good connectivity,” explained Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner Rajender Kataria. The NPR has five bridges, including a railway overbridge at Garhi Harsaru, for which tenders will be floated separately, he added.

The roads are an important part of the Gurgaon-Manesar Masterplan 2021. Along with the Kundali-Manesar-Palwal Expressway, the aim is to take away 40 per cent of traffic on the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway by providing a shorter alternative. Work on the NPR has been inordinately delayed since several residents of Daulatabad and New Palam Vihar, whose houses were to be demolished, moved court. A final order is still awaited.

The two roads
NORTHERN PERIPHERAL ROAD:The 18.5-km NPR will connect Dwarka and National Highway 8.

The road will start from Dwarka, connect Palam Vihar and the upcoming big SEZs in Gurgaon to join the NH-8 near Kherki Dhaula.

SOUTHERN PERIPHERAL ROAD:The SPR will connect Badshahpur Chowk to Kherki Daula on NH-8.

Printers of Malwa region hold meeting
The printers of Malwa region (Bathinda, Muktsar, Malout, Jaiton, Faridkot, Kotkupura and Abhoar) organised a meeting at the Civil Lines Club, Bathinda, on Sunday, to discuss the issues being faced by the print industry. North India Printers’ Association General Secretary Kamal Chopra was invited as the chief guest on the occasion. “The printing industry needs more debate and discussion,” he said. He said printing, coupled with print packaging industry, was the second largest sector in the world. “But in India, it is an unorganised sector. So, there should be an association in each region,” he said.

He said it was time to look at the export potentials of the Indian printing and packaging industry, especially when European buyers were looking at the Indian market. To reap the benefits of export, we need to work in cluster, he said.

Keeping these points in view , the printers decided to form an association — Malwa Printers Association — and constituted a nine-member working committee on the spot for the purpose. The members of the working committee were, Jaswinder Bhatia (Muktsar), Ram Gopal (Jaiton), Naresh Dhuria (Abohar), Ravinder Bugla (Faridkot), Ravi (Malaut), Vinod Kumar (Rampura), Navdeep (Kotakpura), Jaswinder (Goniana) and M L Mittal (Bathinda).
