Chandigarh, Jun 7 (IANS): Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Wednesday expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for sanctioning Rs 5,452 crore for a new metro line from HUDA City Centre to Cyber City in Gurugram and a spur line connecting the Dwarka Expressway.
This was in fact the vision of Khattar to improve road and metro connectivity in the National Capital Region, particularly in Gurugram.
The elevated route will be 28.50-km long and will have 27 stations.
Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation Limited (HMRTC) will implement the project. Currently, there is no metro line in old Gurugram.
