Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today alleged that the KMP Expressway project was delayed because of the obstacles created by the previous government.
The BJP government ensured an early hearing in the Supreme Court due to which the Manesar-Palwal stretch of the expressway has been completed. The Kundli-Manesar section is likely to be completed by this year-end, he said.
Two banks had moved the court after the state government's decision to change the contractor, claiming that new project proponent had been engaged without protecting the interest of the financial institutions.
Khattar said that after the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway is completed, vehicles would not have to enter Delhi to reach their destinations.
Besides, the pollution level from heavy vehicles in Delhi would considerably reduce, he said.
Special emphasis would be given to industrial development in an area of 2 km each on both sides of the expressway, Khattar said
The chief minister said that he has visited all the 90 assembly constituencies of the state and has conducted several public meetings to redress grievances of the people.
This is the first time a chief minister has visited all the assembly segments without any discrimination, he claimed, adding that he is spending two days in every district headquarter.
During his visit, Khattar said that he participates in different programmes and also looks into the requirements and problems of the area.
He said he has covered 16 districts under this programme and would visit six districts in November and December.
The chief minister said that his government completed its three years on October 26 and that this was the Swarna Jayanti year of the state.
Vice President Venkaiah Naidu would be the chief guest for the concluding function of the Swarna Jayanti celebrations to be organised in Hisar tomorrow, Khattar said.
Two events, including the Swarna Jayanti Khel Mahakumbh and Run for Unity on the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel would be the key events of the programme, he said.
