Haryana wants central funding for NCR area
December 27th, 2011 - 6:33 pm ICT by IANSChandigarh, Dec 27 (IANS) The Haryana government has urged the National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) to consider funding various projects in all 26 urban local bodies (ULBs) falling in the National Capital Region (NCR) sub-region of the state.
The demand has been raised by Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda for works relating to water supply, solid waste management, roads and improvement of street lights under the city development plans, a spokesman said here Tuesday.
He said that development plans of these local bodies have been prepared by the Haryana government.
“The financial gap to meet the present infrastructure deficit in these 26 ULBs has been estimated at Rs.2,776 crore,” the spokesman said.
The Haryana government has made it clear to the central government that it will not be able to bear the high costs of projects like the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) for the Delhi-Gurgaon-Rewari-Alwar and Delhi-Panipat sections.
The state has sought 100 percent central funding for the Delhi-Gurgaon-Rewari-Alwar corridor, the cost of which has been worked out to be Rs.25,150 crore (including land cost) for a stretch of 158 km.
The state government has also sought the Delhi Metro to be linked to industrial townships like Kundli, Sonepat, Bahadurgarh and others in the NCR region.
