At which one of the following places, East- West Corridor connecting Silchar and Porhandar and North-South Corridor connecting Srinagar and Kanyakumari, intersect each other?

The North-South and East-West Corridors are major components of the National Highways Development Project (NHDP) in India. The North-South Corridor connects Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir to Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu via NH-44, while the East-West Corridor connects Silchar in Assam to Porbandar in Gujarat via NH-27 [c1][c2][t5]. These two massive highway corridors intersect at Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh [t5]. Jhansi serves as a critical junction where the north-south traffic moving between Delhi and southern India meets the east-west traffic moving between the western coast and the northeastern states [t5]. While Nagpur is a major hub on the North-South Corridor, it does not serve as the intersection point for the East-West Corridor [t5]. This infrastructure project, managed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), aims to reduce travel time and logistics costs across the country [c2][t9].
