According to experts, this passage should be kept undisturbed so as to allow movement of cats along the corridor, which may be compromised once the expressway is functional. The expressway has now been given greenlight by National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) to build six lane road from Western Peripheral Expressway (WPE) and is <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/mumbai-e-way-to-come-into-delhi-manesar-to-get-closer/articleshow/67249427.cms">planned to extend</a> up to ring road near DND flyway.

It will <a href="http://v">trim the road-distance</a> to Mumbai to 12 hours, which currently takes 24-48 hours. The six-lane road stretching over 59 kms has been planned to diverge into four sections including the first patch of 7.3 km from DND flyway over river Yamuna. The expressway is expected to bring a huge relief to commuters from residents of National Capital Region. The project will have 13 flyovers, two rail-bridges and nearly 10 minor bridges. The project, which has been approved under the Bharatmala programme, will be completely funded by NHAI and is expected to accept bids by August next year, Times of India reported. Overall, the project is expected to cost nearly <a href="https://www.mumbailive.com/en/transport/delhi-mumbai-express-work-on-fast-track-land-acquisition-on-progress-30856">₹600 billion</a> from Delhi making way to Maharashtra via Haryana , Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.

The ongoing tiff between <keyword id="6355203" type="COUNTRY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Qatar">Qatar</keyword> and other gulf countries has affected Indians in a strange and unexpected manner, having impacted their travel plans for the current summer break. As per travel portals, <keyword id="6355205" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Doha">Doha</keyword> had become a key hub in the Middle East for travellers going from Europe, America and Asia. However, the ongoing crisis, which saw major airlines like Etihad and Emirates suspending flights to and from Doha, travellers have been forced tp cancel their trips. Several Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, UAE and Yemen, have cut diplomatic ties with Qatar accusing that it supports Islamist groups, and this has resulted in Qatar having no access to these countries via trucks, planes and ships. "With connectivity routes being hit by the recent <keyword id="565671" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Gulf-crisis">Gulf crisis</keyword>, traveller plans have been impacted considerably. We have witnessed an increased inflow of customer calls by 55% since June 5. Most of the calls received are from customers booked with <keyword id="109797" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Qatar-Airways">Qatar Airways</keyword>, who wish to seek clarity on the refund part or alternate flight options' availability," Balu Ramachandran, head - air and distribution, Cleartrip, told <a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/travel/qatar-crisis-throws-indians-travel-plans-off-course/articleshow/59043937.cms">ET</a>. "We are keeping a close watch on the situation and have deployed a dedicated customer service team to help with these cases." As per Etihad’s official website, customers that have booked on flights to and from Doha are being provided with alternative options, including full refund on unused tickets and free rebooking to the nearest alternate <keyword id="140808" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Etihad-airways">Etihad Airways</keyword> destinations. Anand Malhotra, destination strategist at Travel-Triangle, said that the crisis is not only for Indians willing to travel abroad via Doha, but also for Middle Eastern travellers in July and August. "A lot of Middle Eastern travellers come to India and travel further to destinations like Sri Lanka and Maldives. We anticipate a fall in that segment. We are evaluating the situation amid cancellations. Qatar had emerged as a premier long-haul destination." (Image source Stuck at the airport)
