Munak Canal elevated corridor project likely to be handed over to NHAI: PWD Minister

Officials said while the Delhi government will fund the project, the NHAI is set to execute it. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta had held a meeting in this regard earlier this week. “In the meeting, the proposal to hand over the project to NHAI was approved, as the project requires land acquisition on the Haryana-Delhi border,” said an official.

The Munak Canal, a key water supply channel running through both Haryana and Delhi, was originally built to reduce water loss in the Western Yamuna Canal and ensure efficient water transport to the capital. Now, it is being eyed as the base for a crucial elevated corridor aimed at decongesting roads. The elevated road will also connect to Urban Extension Road-II, further strengthening Delhi’s Outer Ring Road network.
