Efforts have once again started to give the responsibility of construction of Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad Expressway (FNG Expressway) to the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). This time instead of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana government has started efforts for this. Earlier, the state government had made two-three attempts through Noida Authority, which were not successful. Haryana government is also preparing to make it at its own level.
In the meeting held on Tuesday between PWD officials of Noida and Haryana Government, there were indications of giving the responsibility of construction of FNG to NHAI. A team of Noida Authority went to Faridabad on Tuesday to take forward the FNG project. In the meeting, the bridge to be built on Yamuna and the alignment of the road connecting to it was discussed. According to this, Noida Authority will build a road connecting the bridge to be built on Yamuna in its area. The officials present there said that the detailed project report of the bridge and other works to be built on Yamuna has been prepared. It has been sent for approval. After this further process will be done. The bridge to be built on Yamuna will be at a height of about 14 meters from the ground. The height of the road connecting it will also be considerable.
This bridge to be built on Yamuna is estimated to cost Rs 200 to 250 crore. This cost will be borne equally by Noida and Haryana governments. This bridge will be connected near Lalpur village of Faridabad. The important thing is that apart from the bridge, a lot of land has to be taken from farmers to build roads in Faridabad area for FNG. In today’s time, farmers are not ready to give land easily. Under the new law, the government will have to bear more financial burden in acquiring land. It is estimated that more than Rs 1000 crore will be spent on this. No work has been done yet on FNG in Faridabad. If official sources are to be believed, the Haryana government has started efforts to hand over this project again to NHAI.
The offer has been rejected
In previous years, on the proposal of Noida Authority, the UP government had tried to give the work of FNG to NHAI. A letter was also sent to the Central Government for this. Once the NHAI team arrived, most of the Eastern Peripheral Expressway was ready. In such a situation, after the construction of the peripheral, the government denied the utility of FNG and refused to take the responsibility of its construction.
A lot of work has been done in Noida
A lot of work has been done regarding FNG in Noida area. At some places, the road is yet to be built in small pieces, on which there is a dispute in the court with the farmers. To connect the road to the Yamuna bridge, the authority also has to acquire land from farmers, which is not an easy process. Apart from this, there is a proposal to build an elevated road, a flyover and an underpass at one place in Noida. It is estimated that Rs 1500 to Rs 2000 crore will be spent on these works.
