This will result in facilitating seamless travel between the CBD and NCR suburbs. Recently, all state governments have approved alignments of the three Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridors. These corridors will connect the capital with Panipat, Meerut, and Alwar. These three alignments were recommended by the National Capital Regional Planning Board (NCRPB).
