On December 4, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Dehradun to inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for a number of projects costing over Rs 18,000 crore.
PM Modi will lay the foundation stone for eleven development projects, according to a statement provided by the Prime Minister’s Office. The Delhi-Dehradun Economic Corridor (from Eastern Peripheral Expressway Junction to Dehradun) will cost roughly Rs 8,300 crore to construct.
It will cut the time it takes to travel from Delhi to Dehradun in half, from six hours to roughly 2.5 hours. It would be connected to Haridwar, Muzaffarnagar, Shamli, Yamunanagar, Baghpat, Meerut, and Baraut by seven major interchanges. It will have Asia’s largest wildlife elevated corridor (12 km) for free passage of wildlife.
