The board of directors of Haryana Rail Infrastructure Development Corp Ltd (HRIDC) has given a go ahead to the DRP, with the project expected to ensure direct rail connectivity to all the routes originating from Delhi and passing through Haryana, even though it will totally avoid going through the national capital.
