Description
Description | The Indian government is exploring an extension of the Namo Bharat Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) from its current route between Delhi and Meerut to Rishikesh. This extension aims to reduce travel time between Delhi and Rishikesh to approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, significantly improving connectivity and boosting tourism and regional economic growth. The route will follow National Highway 58 and include stops at key locations such as Daurala, Sakauti, Khatauli, Purkazi, Roorkee, Jwalapur near Haridwar, and finally Rishikesh. The project faces challenges including environmental clearances near Rajaji National Park, high land acquisition costs, and engineering complexities due to hilly terrain requiring elevated tracks or tunnels. |
