The North-south and East-west Road Corridors of India cross each other at which of the following cities?
Explanation
The North-South and East-West (NS-EW) Corridor is the largest ongoing highway project in India, managed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) under the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
- North-South Corridor: This 4,000 km long corridor connects Srinagar (Jammu & Kashmir) in the north to Kanyakumari (Tamil Nadu) in the south.
- East-West Corridor: This 3,300 km long corridor connects Silchar (Assam) in the east to Porbandar (Gujarat) in the west.
The two corridors intersect at Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh. Jhansi serves as a critical junction in India's national highway network, facilitating the movement of goods and passengers across the length and breadth of the country. This intersection is a key component of the National Highways Development Project (NHDP) aimed at improving connectivity and economic growth.
