Haryana to develop five new cities along KMP Expressway

The Haryana government has announced that it has prepared a draft Panchgram Development Authority Bill, for the development of five cities, together labeled as 'Panchagram', on either side of the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal Expressway. The Haryana government has decided to develop five new cities along the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal Expressway, minister for industries and commerce, Vipul Goel said. To be developed within two kilometers on either side of the Expressway, the area would be named ‘Panchagram’, the minister said, adding that the cities, however, will have different names. Goel said the government has already prepared a draft Panchgram Development Authority Bill, which would be introduced in the state assembly, after the cabinet’s approval. The minister gave the information in a press conference on MSME Funding, by the PHD Chamber of Commerce. “In coming times, the KMP Expressway would completely transform the industrial scenario in Haryana. The present government has provided facilities to entrepreneurs, to give a boost to the industrial sector in the state, to create large-scale job opportunities,” Goel said. He said the industrial and commercial townships were being set up on 3,300 acres area at Kharkhoda in Sonipat. This would be the first-of-its-kind township in the state, he added.
