The Delhi government is planning to construct a 20-kilometre-long elevated corridor along the Munak Canal from Inderlok to Bawana in northwest Delhi to reduce congestion on the Outer Ring Road, officials said on Thursday.

Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday held a meeting on the matter with Public Works Department and water minister Pravesh Verma and senior officials of the Haryana government, National Highways Authority of India (NHAAI), PWD and other departments.

The detailed project report (DPR) is being prepared and is expected to be completed within the next three months, officials said. The Delhi government has sought a no-objection certificate from the Haryana government to proceed as the entire stretch of canal is managed by the Haryana irrigation department, they added.
