Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri Friday said the Delhi Metro’s Rithala-Bawana-Narela corridor, proposed under Phase-IV, could get government approval in the next few months.

“I am very happy to share… and I am confident that connectivity to those parts of the city, and I have Narela in mind for instance, one of the three corridors not covered by Phase IV approval, will improve,” he said.

“We had some difficulty and hiccups with you know who, who shall remain nameless today. We had cleared three of the six corridors under Phase IV. The Narela corridor I am told, not covered earlier, should be able to get approval in the next few months,” the minister said. He was speaking at an event organised by FICCI and DDA on the land pooling policy.
