KARNAL: Government of Haryana has approved the extension of Sarai Kale Khan, Delhi-Panipat corridor of Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) to Karnal city with a stoppage at Gharaunda. The state government claims that the move would not only cut short the commute time between the cities but will also be beneficial to Delhi’s environment. A meeting between Manohar Lal Khattar, the Chief Minister of Haryana and National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) arrived on the decision on Monday, January 6, in Chandigarh.

With the construction of the corridor, the 103 km road connecting Delhi and Panipat with 17 stations would be extended to 130 km to reach Karnal, enhancing the transportation facilities within the National Capital Region, which includes Karnal. The authorities also announced development of a total of eight corridors of RRTS under the Functional Plan on Transport of NCR-2032. The first phase would see the construction of Delhi-Meerut, Delhi-Panipat and Delhi-SNB (Shahjahanpur-Neemrana-Behror). Authorities also announced that the Regional Rapid Transit System stations would be inter-dependable.
