Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated the
Kundli-Ghaziabad-Palwal (KGP) Expressway (Eastern Peripheral Expressway)
project, intended to relieve Delhi from traffic congestion.
The
135-km expressway, built at a cost of around Rs 11,000 crore, will
reduce traffic time between Kundli and Palwal in Haryana from over four
hours to around 72 minutes.
There are eight solar power plants along the Expressway having a capacity of 4 MW.
Launching
the expressway, Modi said that in four years of his rule so far, the
highest attention was paid to the infrastructure so as to develop every
section of the society.
"The modern infrastructure of the country
has a very important role in improving lives of all the 1.25 crore
people of the country.
"With this, everyone is on the path of
development, because infrastructure does not distinguish between caste,
creed, community, rich and poor," he said.
Earlier, Modi
inaugurated the first phase of the 8.36 km, 14-lane Delhi-Meerut
Expressway, built at a cost of Rs 841.50 crore, which will start from
Nizammudin Bridge and go till Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border.
He said that good infrastructure was creating equal opportunities for everyone.
"That's
why our government has given the highest attention to infrastructure of
highways, railways, airways, waterways, and and that of electricity."
Over
the last four years, he said, the BJP-led NDA government spent more
than 3 lakh crore to create new highways covering more than 28,000 km.
