Union road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari will be in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut on Thursday to formally inaugurate and dedicate to the nation the Delhi-Meerut Expressway, which was opened for public in April this year.
The expressway cuts the travel time between the two cities to just 45 minutes from the earlier two-and-a-half hours.
According to Hindustan Times’ sister publication Livehindustan, Gadkari, accompanied by General (retired) VK Singh, who is a Minister of State in the former’s ministry, will travel from Delhi to Meerut via road.
