NEW DELHI: Nuh, the district headquarters of Gurgaon’s poor cousin Mewat, will soon be linked with the national highway. The decision was taken during a Union cabinet meeting on Thursday.
The backward regions of southern Haryana, including Mahendragarh, will get economic boost with the improved connectivity. At present, nearest highway to Nuh is NH-919, which is about 21km away from the town. In case of Narnaul, the nearest national highway (no 352) is 53 km away.
“We will soon notify the existing road connecting the NCR towns as new national highways. Now, the Centre will be responsible for the widening and maintenance of the road,” said a highways ministry official.
The Centre can either bring the road under National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) or can engage the state public works department (PWD) to manage it with financial assistance from the ministry.
The proposal to convert 149 state roads to National Highways totaling 7,200 km was approved by the cabinet.
