Vehicle pressure will be reduced, Will get relief from jam

According to officials, this expressway will reduce the traffic pressure in the National Capital Region (NCT) of Delhi, especially Khajuri Khas and its surrounding areas and will reduce the burden on other major routes including the Delhi-Meerut Expressway. With the full operation of the highway, the travel time will be halved, which will provide great relief to the passengers and the number of tourists visiting Uttarakhand will also increase.

12 The journey will be completed in two and a half hours through the high-speed expressway built at a cost of thousand crores.

This state-of-the-art expressway will start from Delhi’s Akshardham Temple metro station from where it connects to the Delhi-Meerut Expressway, passing through Baghpat, Baraut, Muzaffarnagar, Shamli and Saharanpur of Uttar Pradesh and reach Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand. This expressway starts as an elevated corridor from Geeta Colony, due to which the vehicles of Delhi will get relief from the jam.

This high-speed expressway, built at a cost of Rs 11,800 crore, will reduce the travel time from the current 6.5 hours to just 2.5 hours. Its maximum speed limit has been fixed at 100 kilometers per hour. The project also has a provision for a separate route to Haridwar which will also connect to the Char Dham Highway, which will make access to the hill stations and religious places of Uttarakhand and Western Uttar Pradesh even easier.

Asia’s longest elevated wildlife corridor

Keeping in mind the environmental sensitivity, Asia’s longest, 12 km elevated corridor has also been built within the Rajaji National Park in this project, so that the wildlife will be able to move easily below and they will not face any kind of threat from fast-moving vehicles.

To ensure safe movement of monkeys, special monkey ladders have been prepared by connecting trees so that they can cross comfortably without coming down on the road and accidents can be prevented. Protective fencing has been installed to prevent the entry of wild animals on the main road, which will reduce possible conflicts between vehicles and wildlife. Additionally, non-intrusive yellow lighting has been used to prevent attracting insects. To reduce noise pollution, sound barriers have also been installed on the sides of the expressway.

This ambitious project will not only bring a revolutionary change in the connectivity of North India, but will also give a new impetus to environment, pilgrimage and economic development.

People often blame the government when roads are bad, but now Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has decided that responsibility will be fixed where the fault lies. Under this thinking, he has ordered the National Highway Authority (NHAI) and road construction companies to create their own YouTube channels and share video reports of every project with the public.

Now QR code will be installed on every road
Gadkari has announced that now boards with QR codes will be installed on every national highway. By scanning that code, any person will be able to see which contractor built that road, which consultant designed it, and which government official is maintaining that road. Gadkari said, ‘If the road is bad and people are complaining on social media, then they should know whose responsibility it is. Why should I be abused? The QR code will contain all the information so that the public can directly ask questions at the right place.

Big Win!@nitin_gadkari ji is implementing my QR scan idea!

On July 12, I posted: If ₹5 biscuit has all details, why not 100 Cr road?

I demanded QR codes for roads. After months of efforts, it’s finally happening!

This is just the beginning of Accountability & Transparency! pic.twitter.com/aIBUV5GFx1

If toll is paid then the road should be of international quality – Gadkari
Gadkari clearly said that when people are paying toll tax, they should get international standard roads. “Weather or bad asphalt cannot be an excuse,” he said. If the road is not comfortable, repair it immediately. Expenses may increase, but comfort will not be compromised.

Emphasis on accountability and transparency- Gadkari
Gadkari said that now accountability and transparency will be mandatory in road projects. For this, he talked about starting performance audit, so that it can be checked where there are shortcomings in design or maintenance and those who do good work can be honored. He said, ‘When audits are regular, transparency will increase and excuses will end.’

Videos of every project will be seen on YouTube
Road Transport Secretary V. Umashankar also told in the program that now NHAI and builders will have to upload videos of every project online, so that the public can see the progress and give their opinion. He said, ‘Many times we get information about projects from the videos of independent YouTubers. Therefore, now we are making video uploading a part of the contract document.

25,000 km road upgrade under Rs 2 lakh crore plan
Gadkari said that the government is working to convert 25,000 km of highways into four lanes under a Rs 2 lakh crore plan. This will connect ports, and promote religious tourism and adventure travel across the country. He said that now precast technology is being made mandatory in highway construction, so that the quality increases and the work is completed faster.

A few days ago an audio of RJD MLA Bhai Virendra came out in which he was talking to the Panchayat Secretary. He had called about some work, but the way the secretary spoke, the MLAs were agitated. The matter had reached the police station. Now an audio of MP Pappu Yadav is going viral. He has gone one step ahead of the RJD MLA.

In the viral audio, MP Pappu Yadav is abusing Shekhar Jha, an officer of the ambulance department of NHAI. A phone call was made by Pappu Yadav’s team. It is said that Shekhar Jha sees the work related to NHAI ambulance in Darbhanga.

This whole matter is to hire an ambulance driver. First MP Pappu Yadav’s PA spoke to the officer over the phone. After this, Pappu Yadav himself spoke to Shekhar Jha on the phone. He started pressuring ambulance driver Manish to hire it, but Shekhar Jha said that this is not a thing of his under. After this, the matter increased on the phone.

Read the conversation of viral audio

Pappu Yadav- Shekhar ji Pappu Yadav…

NHAI Officer- Yes yes… Hello

Pappu Yadav- Don’t be so loose… a little tight

Pappu Yadav- Keep Manish, man…

NHAI Officer- Our undergone is not a thing…

Pappu Yadav- Keep what is there ..

NHAI Officer- Sir, where do we keep…

Pappu Yadav- Where are you now?

NHAI Officer- We are in Delhi…

Pappu Yadav- The addiction will be over in two minutes… I will be cured in two minutes who do it for money…

NHAI Officer- Good

Pappu Yadav- Where is the house… ** ## $$$?

Pappu Yadav- Your mind is bad,

NHAI Officer- MP… You are MP, talk correctly, do not understand…

Pappu Yadav- #@#** Is your brain bad?

Pappu Yadav- You come and come after getting treatment…

NHAI- Talk respectfully… don’t understand

Politics heated after viral audio

After the audio surfaced, the politics of the state has become hot. JDU spokesperson Abhishek Jha said, “An audio is becoming increasingly viral on social media. It is being told that Purnia MP Pappu Yadav is threatening an NHAI official. What can we expect from the leaders of the grand alliance? They will still remember the time of Lalu ji and Rabri ji’s reign and think that any immoral work has to be done for this Will be intimidated, will be threatened, but the MP has also got a clear answer from the officer.

On the other hand, RJD spokesperson Ejaz Ahmed said that in this case only people of both sides can tell for which reasons such things have happened.

On August 17, a case of assault with Army soldier Kapil Singh came to light at Bhuni toll plaza located on Karnal Highway (NH-709A). Several days after the incident, now the National Highway Authority (NHAI) has taken major action on this.

NHAI canceled the toll recovery agency’s contract and has stopped it from participating in any new bid for a year. The agency has been fined Rs 20 lakh and its Rs 3.66 crore performance security will be seized. This amount will be spent on the damage/repair/change of equipment on the toll plaza.

Give reasons to toll company ‘notice

After the incident, the toll company M/s Dharam Singh was given a ‘show show’ notice, but its reply was not found satisfactory. In the investigation, the agency employees were convicted of misbehaving, quarrels and toll plazas to damage the property.

Providing safe travel primary responsibility

To prevent such incidents further, NHAI has issued strict instructions to all toll companies. These include taking immediate action on employees and training the toll staff good behavior and communication skills. NHAI said that it is its primary responsibility to provide smooth and safe travel to passengers on national highways and indiscipline of toll staff will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

On this incident of assault, Army soldier Kapil Singh said that there is no hesitation in competing with enemies on the border, but such behavior in his own country hurts the mind. The injuries on the body will be cured with time, but the wound on the mind will remain throughout life.

Every customer has to pay road tax while purchasing a new train in India. This tax increases its on road price by about 10% by joining the price there. The government argues that this tax is kept in the country’s huge road networks and is spent on security services. But the big question arises that when the government takes a road tax while buying a car, then why is a separate toll tax charged on the National Highway.

The real purpose of road tax

Regarding road tax, the government says that it is used on road lights, signals, security services and first aid facilities. Also, new highways and expressways are also expanded with this money. This tax is mandatory under Section 39 of the Motor Vehicle Taxation Act 1988 and this has to pay a lump sum at the time of taking the vehicle owner.

Then why toll tax?

It is here that the biggest question arises in the minds of the general public. If the government is already taking money through road tax, then why is a separate toll tax from passengers to walk on the National Highway. The Ministry of Road Transport argues that the toll is actually taken to remove the cost of highway construction and the maintenance spent on it. Many projects are completed by taking loans and the recovery of tolls continues for long time for interest payments on them.

Complaints reached court

Actually, it has been seen many times that toll collection starts without making the road completely. The Supreme Court recently asked the National Highway Authority of India the same question as to why the roads are incomplete, why is the toll charged. The court said that it is playing with the trust of the public. The Kerala High Court also stayed toll collection for four weeks in one case.

Government’s new preparations

The Union Road Transport Ministry had recently made a big proposal, under this, if the two -taken road is being converted into four lanes, then the toll should be reduced to half during the construction. So far, the toll on such roads is 60% of the normal rate, but the ministry is working on a plan to reduce it to 30%.

How much relief to the public

In view of the complaints of the people, the government has already taken several steps. An annual toll pass of 3000 which private vehicles can cross 200 toll plazas. In addition, up to 50% deduction in tolls for heavy vehicles on bridges, tunnels and flyovers. Despite this, the question is the same when road tax is already charged on every vehicle, then why is the issue of toll tax separately separately today remains a matter of debate across the country.
