Delhi-Jaipur Highway NH-48: Delhi-Jaipur Highway NH-48 (NH-48) which connects the country’s capital with Gurugram has been closed for 90 days. On Monday, an advisory has been issued by thec regarding this.
According to the advisory of the traffic police, a diversion plan has been made due to the closure of the highway between Rangpuri and Rajokri. Due to the closure of this major highway, the traffic of more than 50,000 people will be affected and there will be additional load on the alternate route.
Dwarka Expressway is being constructed on NH-48 near Shiv Murti from Dwarka Link Road as per Bharatmala project.
