New Delhi, Jan 2 (NationPress) A proposal for an international cricket stadium spanning 50 acres in Narela is currently being evaluated by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs as part of their initiative to develop the rural sectors of the city, stated Yogender Chandolia, BJP MP representing North West Delhi, on Thursday.

"In alignment with the vision of 'Khelo India, Jito India', the ministry aims to secure approval from Prime Minister Narendra Modi for this project," he remarked, expressing gratitude to Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs Manohar Lal Khattar for his enthusiastic support of the proposals from BJP MPs.

During a media briefing, Chandolia revealed that an additional 50-acre plot in the Narela sub-city is set to be designated for establishing an educational hub encompassing new campuses for Delhi Technological University, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, and IIIT.

He mentioned that this hub will facilitate the creation of private universities and colleges in the region.

Harsh Malhotra, MP from East Delhi and Union Minister of State for Corporate Affairs, also conveyed his request to Union Minister Khattar for enhanced metro connectivity for the Central Vista, which connects India Gate and Rashtrapati Bhawan.

"A Delhi to Karnal RRTS corridor has also been advocated for the business community and individuals traveling to the Capital for educational purposes. To alleviate traffic congestion around Gurugram, we have also proposed a Noida-Faridabad-Gurugram high-speed corridor to aid IT professionals' commuting," he stated.

Additionally, he mentioned a proposal for a connection between Delhi Airport and the forthcoming airport in Noida via rapid rail or metro.

Kamaljeet Sehrawat, MP from West Delhi, also brought attention to ongoing projects including the Yashobhoomi Convention Centre, Dwarka Golf Course, and a Law Campus in Dwarka Sector 21. She also proposed a 220-acre Bharat Vandana Park at a cost of Rs 560 crore, envisioned to be a mini-India.

Additionally, she highlighted the construction of a cricket and football complex.

The West Delhi MP also mentioned two additional metro lines proposed to the Urban Development Minister, including a connection from Delhi Aerocity to Gurugram and a metro linkage between Delhi Airport Terminal 1 and Terminal 3.

Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, MP from South Delhi, noted that the Modi administration has provided flats to 6,500 slum dwellers, with owners being charged Rs 1.40 lakh while the government invested Rs 25 lakh per flat.

He indicated that similar housing solutions are planned for slum clusters located in Shalimar Bagh, Dilshad Garden, Pitampura, as well as Jawahar and Navjiwan camps within the South Delhi Lok Sabha constituency. "Tenders have been issued and construction could commence at any moment," Bidhuri added.

Furthermore, he mentioned that seven major slum clusters will also be transformed into multi-storeyed flats, with tenders already issued.

He concluded by stating that Union Minister Khattar has accepted his recommendation to extend the Tughlakabad Metro from Kalindi Kunj to Jaitpur.
