Hooda to develop Gurgaon, Faridabad, Sonepat in NCR

THE Haryana government plans to develop towns like Gurgaon, Faridabad, Bahadurgarh and Sonepat at par with New Delhi under its sub-regional plan of the National Capital Region (NCR).

Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda announced this on Monday at the second meeting of the National Development Council (NDC) Sub-Committee on Urbanisation. “The Haryana government accords high priority to urban development and as such, the budget provision for urban sector has been increased from Rs 4,434 crore in 2010-11 to Rs 6,917 crore in 2011-12,” Hooda said.

Maintaining that the Haryana government agrees with most of the recommendations of the NDC Sub-Committee on Urbanisation, Hooda said that in the formulation of the model municipal law, devolution of powers, responsibilities and functions of local governments and communities should be left to state governments, as local issues of every state and urban local bodies are different.

Haryana, he said, has already prepared city development plans for 74 towns but sought the Centre’s help to cover the needs of infrastructure, which required an investment of Rs 12,346 crore. The government had already notified a PPP policy, which included the establishment of the “Haryana Infrastructure Fund” for building the required infrastructure.

Hooda also stressed on the need to constitute an urban management transport authority for NCR to ensure an integrated transport system. Haryana, he said, is the first state in the country to implement a Metro project in Gurgaon through private investment.

For faster and modern urban transport facilities, metros and Regional Rapid Transit Systems in NCR are being actively considered. Two priority corridors of RRTS —Delhi-Sonepat-Panipat and Delhi-Gurgaon-Alwar are capital intensive and the Haryana government had asked the Urban Development ministry to fund the same as the state was unable to do so, the chief minister said.

Regarding Metro services being introduced in the NCR area of Haryana sub-region, Hooda said the work for extending Metro from Badarpur to YMCA chowk Faridabad will commence soon. Regarding the extension of Delhi Metro from Mundka (Delhi) to Bahadurgarh in Haryana, the CM said that it has already been decided that the Delhi portion of the project will be taken up in the supplementary part of Metro Phase-III.

To connect New Delhi’s IGI Airport to Gurgaon IFFCO Chowk via Dwarka, a scheme of high-speed Metro Rail connectivity has been prepared with the help of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, he added.
