In a bid to enhance urban connectivity, the Congress party has unveiled plans to extend the metro service from Gurugram to Manesar. Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda announced this ambitious project aimed at bolstering transportation links between these two key locations in the state. The proposed metro line extension is set to significantly ease commuting challenges for residents and employees travelling between Gurugram, a major corporate hub, and Manesar, known for its industrial and commercial significance.

Hooda highlighted that the extension project aligns with the goal of improving infrastructure and addressing traffic congestion in the region. The expansion is expected to provide a reliable and efficient mode of transport, catering to the growing population and economic activities in both Gurugram and Manesar. This initiative underscores Congress's commitment to enhancing urban transportation networks to meet the evolving needs of commuters and businesses alike.

The proposed metro extension is poised to bring about substantial socio-economic benefits by facilitating easier access to employment centres and promoting regional development. With feasibility studies underway, the project represents a significant step towards fostering sustainable urban mobility and supporting future growth in Haryana's key economic corridors.
