NCR to get country’s longest elevated national highway

From construction of the country’s longest elevated national highway to setting up of electronic manufacturing clusters, Uttar Pradesh government proposed schemes for development of National Capital Region (NCR) in the 2015-16 budget presented in the state Assembly on Tuesday. “A six-lane elevated national highway will be constructed in Ghaziabad, which will ease traffic between Delhi and Meerut. It will be the longest elevated national highway of the country,” CM Akhilesh Yadav said in his budget speech. Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad investment area and Meerut- Muzaffarnagar industrial area have been identified in Uttar Pradesh under the 1,483-km long Delhi-Mumbai industrial corridor.
