Kanwar Marg project to take two more years to complete

26 Jul 2022 CW Team

The proposed 111-km Kanwar Marg, linking Muradnagar to Purkaji near the Uttar Pradesh-Uttarakhand border, will take another two years to get complete once the forest clearances are obtained. Once completed, the city residents may not get relief from Kanwar Yatra diversions.

The proposed road is slotted to connect the two points alongside the Upper Ganga Canal, which presently has thick vegetation. It is also projected as an alternative route for kanwariyas from Haridwar who take the Delhi-Meerut Road to travel back home during the Kanwar Yatra season.

The proposed route will connect the three districts of Ghaziabad, Meerut and Muzaffarnagar. In the absence of any alternate route from Haridwar, kanwariyas use the Delhi-Meerut Road, which is presently shut for traffic and major diversions for commuters have already been put in place.
