The Story in Brief
The Uttarakhand cabinet has cleared the extension of the Ganga Expressway from Meerut to Haridwar, approving a memorandum of understanding with Uttar Pradesh. Officials expect the travel time between the two cities to drop to around 90 minutes from the current three hours once the project is complete.
The decision was taken at a cabinet meeting on Friday, as reported by the Times of India. The expressway is seen as a key infrastructure push for the region.
The Indian Opinion
The talk of 'development versus environment' is predictable every time a Ganga project is announced. What gets less attention is whether the promised travel time of 90 minutes will actually materialise once tolls, traffic, and bottlenecks are factored in. The real test will be the completion timeline and final cost overrun.
