Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's Letter to Expedite the Process of Noida - Greater Noida Metro Link.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has written to Union Urban Development Minister Kamal Nath seeking “immediate approval” for expansion projects of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation to Noida and Greater Noida.
In his letter, Akhilesh mentioned three Metro projects — extension of existing Rithala to Dilshad Garden line to Ghaziabad new bus station, Kalindi Kunj to Botanical Garden, and a Metro connection between Noida and Greater Noida.
The Chief Minister said the high-speed public transport will aid trade and development in the region and also benefit daily commuters.
The extension of Rithala line to Ghaziabad new bus station has already received the approval from UP, with the state agreeing to bear its share of funds. The 9.5-km long link is expected to cost Rs 1,600 crore, of which UP and Ghaziabad Development Authority will pay around Rs 990 crore. The Centre will give around Rs 344 crore and DMRC will shell out Rs 254 crore.
The project is now waiting for an approval from the Centre. Details for the other two projects are still to be worked out.
