Jaipur, The National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) has
held a meeting in New Delhi June 9, 2015 to
discuss various issues relating to development of the National Capital Region.
The 35th Meeting of the NCRPB has been chaired by the Minister of Urban
Development Shri M.Venkaiah Naidu.
NCRPB has constituted a committee to review of
status of regional rapid transit system (RRTS), approved the delineation of
Natural Conservation Zone according to ground realities, and given the approval
of Rajasthan Sub-Regional Plan.
Rajasthan Urban Development Minister Rajpal
Singh Shekhawat attended the meeting. He said that the government of Rajasthan
had requested NCR Planning Board to modify the alignment of regional rapid
transit system (RRTS) in the Shahajhanpur, Neemrana and Behror (SNB) Urban
Complex, now the board has made a committee to review of status of Regional
Rapid transit System.
He Said that Government of Rajasthan has taken a
decision that instead of proposing the RRTS from SNB to Alwar the alignment
should be proposed from SNB to Sotanala RIICO industrial area as this would
serve the industrial hub of Shahajhanpur, Neemrana and Behror, in future this
RRTS could be extended up to Jaipur City, Jaipur is a counter magnet City of
NCR.
''It is to bring to the notice of the NCRPB that
at present Alwar is connected to Delhi by approximately 22 trains and hence,
there is a very good rail link between Delhi & Alwar. The areas of the
Rajasthan sub region that today are not connected by rail are Bhiwadi and SNB
Urban Complex. The major and upcoming industrial hubs of the Rajasthan Sub
Region of NCR are Bhiwadi and SNB Urban Complex, so this modified RRTS is needs
of the time''. He Said.
Shri Shekhawat said that the need of the day is
to connect these two areas directly to Delhi. So,as to give an economic boost to these areas and
help in decongestion of NCR. The development of the RRTS would be parallel to
NH-8 so it will help to reduce the pressure on current highway traffic and
reduce the travel time form Jaipur-Delhi from 6 hrs to 2 hrs. Now SNB Urban
Complex is also developing as a major industrial hub in the Rajasthan Sub
Region so it should be encouraged.
Rajasthan Additional Chief Secretary (Urban
Development) Ashok Jain and Chief Town Planar J.B. Jakhar was also present in
the meeting
