The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has disclosed that the pending approval for two new Namo Bharat regional rapid transit system corridors is likely to be granted in the near future. The corporation highlighted that the Delhi‑Paniyapat‑Karnal alignment is among the routes where detailed planning and clearances are being accelerated.
