Ahead of the inauguration of the Haryana segment of the Dwarka Expressway by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar Saturday inspected preparations at the site, the four-layer trumpet sections, the helipad, and the venue for the public meeting.
According to a statement by the Gurgaon administration, the PM will enter Haryana at the Bajghera border via road where he will be welcomed by Governor Bandaru Dattatreya and Khattar, along with other dignitaries. The Prime Minister will then inspect the four-layer trumpet sections on foot. Following this, he will inaugurate the Dwarka Expressway at Sector 84 and address the public.
During this, an exhibition on the Expressway and the development stages of the National Highways Authority of India’s project in Haryana will also be displayed, said the statement.
The Expressway is set to connect Shiv Murti near IGI Airport to Kherki Daula toll, offering an improved commuting option for a significant population in Gurgaon and facilitating travel to Delhi. Being built at an estimated cost of Rs 9,000 crore, it is segmented into four parts, with two in Delhi (10.01 km) and two in Haryana (18.9 km).
Traffic advisory
In its advisory, Gurgaon Traffic Police asked commuters not to take the road from the cloverleaf interchange towards IMT Manesar — where the rally will take place near Antariksh Chowk — Monday.
“Heavy vehicles’ entry on Dwarka Expressway will be restricted from Sunday at 5 pm, so drivers are advised to use KMP during this time. Additionally, vehicles coming from Rewari, Narnaul, and Dharuhera towards the rally will proceed towards Antariksh Chowk via Rampura Chowk and Vatika Chowk. Vehicles coming from Faridabad, Palwal, Sohna will approach the rally site at Antariksh Chowk via Cloverleaf Road on Dwarka Expressway. Vehicles from Pataudi heading to the rally will use the Sati Chowk route to reach the rally site at Antariksh Chowk,” the advisory said.
DCP (Traffic) Vijender Vij said there will be traffic on the road near Rampura and Vatika Chowk towards Sector 82 as the rally will proceed through the road: “It is likely that the PM might participate in a programme on NH-48. Though it has not been confirmed, traffic will be affected in this area for a while.”
Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav Saturday imposed restrictions on the use of drones by issuing CrPC Section 144 ahead of the inauguration. Orders will be effective on March 10 and 11.
According to the orders issued by the DC, as the PM will be in Gurgaon on March 11, citing security reasons, he said, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (except for government activities) will be prohibited on March 10 and 11. The orders state that violators will face action under IPC Section 188 for disobeying orders.
