The construction of a 16-km double-decker elevated corridor along the Munak Canal, designed to alleviate traffic congestion between Delhi and Haryana, is currently stalled due to a lack of necessary clearances from the Haryana Irrigation Department. Despite the Delhi Public Works Department (PWD) preparing the Detailed Project Report (DPR) and securing funding, the project awaits a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from Haryana, which has raised two main concerns: the impact of heavy machinery on canal desilting and the safety of the canal's embankments from the corridor's piers. Discussions are ongoing, with Haryana officials reviewing preliminary project documents. The elevated corridor is expected to enhance connectivity in North-West Delhi and provide a signal-free route from Urban Extension Road-II to Inderlok Metro Station. Additionally, the Delhi government plans to beautify the canal banks and develop Chhath ghats, which have received clearance from Haryana. However, without the NOC, the project remains on hold, emphasizing the importance of inter-state cooperation for infrastructure development.
