If this project is implemented, the journey from Delhi to Haridwar and Rishikesh can be completed in about two hours. This will not only provide convenience to the passengers but will also reduce the pressure of vehicles on the road and reduce pollution. Apart from this, the possibility of building a new trade corridor between Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Roorkee and Haridwar is also being expressed. This can also provide major benefits to the tourism and local economy of the area.
There is enthusiasm among the people of Western Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand due to the news of rapid rail and metro extension from Meerut to Haridwar and Rishikesh. Many people are considering this as a big infrastructure project of the future, which can completely change the journey of millions of travelers and devotees.
