Northern Peripheral Road (Dwarka Expressway )
Northern Peripheral Road or commonly known as Dwarka Expressway is developing under the public private partnership (PPP) model. This stretch will connect Dwarka with National Highway 8 at Kherki Dhaula and will pass Pataudi Road. The NPR stretch has been planned as an alternate link road between Delhi and Gurgaon, and is expected to ease the traffic situation on the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway.
There is a dispute on Dwarka Expressway and the case is under jurisdiction of respectable courts. The litigation has led to delays in the state government being able to commence work on approx 4 km of the 18 km stretch. The Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) had awarded the joint contract to build 14 km to JSR Construction Pvt Ltd and Indiabulls Construction Limited on April 1, 2011, and had set a deadline of March 31, 2012
The demolition of the 300 homes of the New Palam Vihar that fall along the alignment of the road have become a major issue, and the residents have to be provided alternate accommodation before their homes can be demolished. So far the residents have not accepted any of the proposals made by the authorities .
There have been many attempts to scare the New Palam Vihar residents despite the fact that the residents of the disputed area had got a stay order in 2008 from the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The Punjab and Haryana high court has issued notice of motion to the state alongwith the directions to maintain status quo on land acquisition after taking up a bunch of petitions filed by the aggrieved persons whose land had been proposed to be acquired by Haryana government at Sai Kunj, New Palam Vihar, Phase-III, Gurgaon
