Here are the top 10 points about the Kundli Manesar Palwal Expressway
PM Modi blamed the earlier UPA government for the delay of the project. "They have wasted public money and because of their bad decisions the cost of the project rose three times," said the Prime Minister.
PM Modi said, "Had this project been completed on time, traffic in Delhi would have reduced considerably. Now because of this road big vehicles coming from other states will bypass Delhi."
The Congress alleged that the Narendra Modi government at the Centre and the Khattar government in the state are endangering the lives of commuters by inaugurating an "incomplete expressway without being tested by the engineers."
Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said that the "third party consultant had refused to give 'completion certificate' and even the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation refused to own responsibility for any mishap".
The PM and the Chief Minister were "risking commuters' lives only for quick publicity in the middle of elections and to benefit the private operator," said the Congress
The expressway has been built at a cost of Rs 6,400 crore and 3,846 acres of land was acquired at a cost of Rs 2,788 crore, a Haryana government spokesperson said.
The 83-km Kundli to Manesar stretch will have 14 bridges, 56 underpasses, seven intersections and seven toll plazas.
The project will provide high-speed uninterrupted link for commercial traffic from Haryana to neighbouring states.
PM Modi also inaugurated the 3.2 km-long Ballabhgarh-Mujesar Metro rail link, which would facilitate travel for people of Delhi and Faridabad.
The Prime Minister was accompanied by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, union ministers Rao Inderjit Singh and Governor Satyadev Narayan Arya during the inauguration of the infrastructure projects.
