Delhi-panipat Rapid Rail Corridor- The proposed Delhi-Panipat Rapid Rail Corridor has now been extended to Karnal. Many districts of Haryana will benefit from the running of Rapid Rail between the two cities.
New Delhi. The corridor being built from the country’s capital Delhi to Panipat in Haryana has now been extended to Karnal. Recently, in a meeting between Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini in Delhi, a consensus was reached on running the Rapid Rail from Panipat to Karnal. Soon a survey of the Rapid Rail Corridor will be done. The survey has been done till Panipat, but due to lack of budget, work on this project has not started yet. Now after its extension to Karnal, there is hope that work on it will start soon. Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) will be built from Sarai Kale Khan in Delhi to Karnal.
The distance from Delhi to Karnal is 135 km. It currently takes two and a half hours to travel from Karnal to Delhi by road. With the running of Rapid Rail between Delhi-Karnal, the travel time will be reduced a lot and the Rapid Rail will cover the distance between the two cities in just 45 minutes. The rapid rail running on this route will run at a speed of 160 kilometers per hour.
17 metro stations will be built from Delhi to Karnal
After the extension of Delhi-Panipat Rapid Metro Rail Line to Karnal, metro stations have also been decided. 17 metro stations will be built from Delhi to Karnal. There will be 3 stations in Karnal. Work on Delhi-Karnal Rapid Rail Line will start soon. Along with the Central Government, the Haryana Government is also completely serious about this project. The work of marking the route of the train and its stations has been started.
Train will run in 6 to 10 minutes
Rapid Rail service will be available to passengers within 6 to 10 minutes. 250 people will be able to travel in this train at a time. Apart from Karnal, people of Kurukshetra, Ambala, Yamunanagar, Kaithal and Chandigarh will benefit from the Rapid Rail running between Delhi-Karnal. After its running, people will save both time and money.
A large number of people from North Haryana and other areas live in Delhi and NCR region for studies and jobs. Being far from home, they are unable to commute, so night stay is the only option. With the start of Rapid Metro, travelling will become easier and people will also be saved from the hassle of night stay.
