The meeting was chaired by state Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.
“According to the DPR, the spur or metro extension connecting Rezangla Chowk in Palam Vihar and Dwarka Sector 21 station will be 8.40 km long, of which 4 km will be from Palam Vihar to Sector 111 in Gurugram and the remaining 4.40 km will be from Sector 111 to Sector 21 Dwarka. This entire route will have seven stations,” an official statement said.
Approval was also given to nominate the administrative secretary of the town and country planning department as the nodal officer for the signing of agreements and other related documents for the implementation of the project.
