Delhi to Mussoorie Expressway to Cut Travel Time to Four Hours
Imagine a super-fast road being built so you can drive from Delhi to the beautiful hills of Mussoorie in only four hours!
This new, high-up road will zoom past the busy city of Dehradun, making travel much quicker for everyone.
It's like giving people a shortcut to the mountains and helping more people visit.
However, to build this road, some houses near the river will need to be moved.
The government says they will help these people, maybe with money or a new place to live.
This big project costs lots of money, but the government hopes it will help tourism and make it easier to visit Mussoorie.
An elevated expressway will connect Delhi to Mussoorie via Dehradun.
Travel time is estimated to be reduced to four hours.
The project aims to relieve traffic and boost tourism.
Land acquisition in Dehradun will affect over 2,600 houses.
Compensation details for affected landowners are still unclear.
