Of its total length, the NH 58 traverses 165 km (103 mi) in Uttar Pradesh and 373 km

(232 mi) in Uttarakhand.[1]

The highway is constructed and maintained by National Highway Authority of India from

Delhi to Rishikesh and Border Roads Organisation (BRO) of Indian Army from

Rishikesh, where the plains end and the mountains start, to its northernmost end. The

highway bypasses Meerut city that was a big bottleneck. Bypasses at Roorkee and

Muzaffarnagar has constructed.

Importance of NH 58

Religious

It is an important route for Hindu pilgrims as it connects the national capital New Delhi

with religious pilgrim centres, Haridwar and Rishikesh in the plains of Uttarakhand, and

then with the hill cities and temples of Uttarakhand. The most important pilgrimage

circuit in Uttarakhand is called Chhota Char Dham (Four Pilgrimage Centres)

comprising Yamunotri (where Yamuna river originates), Gangotri (where Ganga river

originates), Kedarnath temple and Badrinath temple. The pilgrims visit Haridwar and
Rishikesh in the plains the entire year but more so during the winter. The pilgrim season

in the hills starts with melting of the snow at the end of April or in the beginning of May

and continues until the onset of monsoon rains in late June. Buses and vehicles packed

with pilgrims and tourists throng the highway during the summer months.

The highway is packed with pilgrims and tourists during pilgrimage season or during

important festivals.[2] When pilgrims bring holy water from Ganga river and carry it to

their villages and homes walking on foot all the way during one fortnight, one lane of the

highway is reserved for these pilgrims who walk on foot and vehicles have to use only

one lane for about two weeks in a year.

Strategic and military[edit]

The highway connects with the border with Tibet. It is built and maintained by Border

Roads Organisation (BRO) of Indian Army from Rishikesh, where the plains end and the

mountains start, to its northernmost end. Earlier it was built only up to Chamoli and has

over the years gradually been extended to Joshimath, Badrinath and finally to Mana

Pass near the border with Tibet. The army along with civilians living in Garhwal are its

major user. CharDham yatra in summer is all thru this route.

Development[edit]

As of December 2013, the Meerut to Muzaffarnagar stretch is 4-laned on toll basis

including bypasses at Khatauli and Muzaffarnagar.

The Muzaffarnagar to Haridwar stretch has been awarded for similar development with

scheduled completion by February 2013, but has been delayed due to problems such as

land acquisition, tree felling and inadequate mobilization by the Concessionaire.[3] Also,

a flyover at Mohan Nagar, a 4710 m long viaduct at Modinagar and a 1710 m long

viaduct at Murad Nagar are proposed.[4]

6-LANE NH 58 TO BRING HARIDWAR CLOSER; MEERUT MORH STILL A SORE

Thursday, 19 December 2013 | Jaya Shroff Bhalla | New Delhi

Travel time between Haridwar and Delhi may get reduced by an hour if the Centres

plan to build the six-lane access-controlled Expressway between the Capital and

Meerut is implemented.
To ease congestion on Delhi-Haridwar stretch, the Ministry of Road Transport and

Highways (MoRTH) plans to convert the road into a six-lane National Highway (NH-58)

from Uttar Pradesh (UP) Gate to Partapur section (6.80 km to 52.528 km). Besides

constructing flyovers at Muradnagar and Modinagar to ease traffic congestion, the

ministry is also working on the options of creating a bypass link.

Stretches near trijunction between NH 58 and Ghaziabad city, and Modinagar and

Muradnagar get jam-packed during peak hours. However, traffic jam near Meerut morh

may remain a hurdle. The project is being proposed to be developed under Delhi-Meerut

Expressway project. There is heavy traffic movement on National Highway No 58

particularly at Muradnagar and Modinagar, between Ghaziabad and Meerut. These are

major headache for long-distance commuters to Haridwar, Rishikesh and Dehradun, an

official said.

A distance which could be covered in maximum four hours takes between five to six

hours or even more due to congestion, he said. According to officials in the ministry,

Meerut to Muzzaffarnagar stretch of National Highway No 58 has already been

developed on Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT-Toll) basis from two-lane to four-lane,

including bypasses at Khatauli and Muzaffarnagar.

The work for Muzaffarnagar-Haridwar stretch has also been awarded on BOT (Toll)

basis. It is scheduled to be completed by February, 2013, said the official. The progress

of work is adversely affected due to delay in pre-construction activities like land

acquisition, tree-cutting, besides inadequate mobilisation by the Concessionaire, said the

official.

The ministry has issued notices to the Concessionaire for expediting the work.

Meanwhile, the ministry is also pressing other concessionaires to maintain the Meerut-

Muzaffarnagar-Haridwar section to ensure smooth traffic flow.

Introduction to a Dhaba

Dhaba
BY
Dhaba, the word has got different meaning for different folks. To some its the place

where a person stops to satisfy his or her hunger on an endless highways and for some its

a place to gorges on butter laced Paratha , dal makhani and indian national dish butter

chicken just to satisfy his taste buds.

If we look at the word Dhaba, it is believed to come from tiffin box or the Dabba as it is

called by most of the folks in north India.

It all started from Punjab

Punjabis have always been known for their bravery, lavish life styles and their love for

good food. It is often said that where ever a Punjabi goes, his food follows; the G.T. Road

was the first to experience this amazing phenomenon. As many Punjabis took to the

wheel of the truck and ventured into the transportation trade, an immediate need to feed

and provide shelter to these drivers plying trucks and buses on the highway was felt. The

first dhabas came into being on the fields and farms that touched the highway. They

created basic open kitchens with clay ovens and brass utensils; lanterns for light and hand

fans for the summer heat were available as electrical connections were a rarity back then;

hand pumps to quench the thirst, wash clothes, trucks and bathe were additional perks

that attracted the weary travelers. These open eateries served close to home food with no

frills attached. The menus evolved with time. Delicacies and specialties were developed.

Picture this, the All India Radios AM station playing great music, the tandoor walas

hands clapping periodically; the clatter of skewers heard intermittently and the hungry
travelers feasting and relaxing on the charpoysthese scenes are still a common sight

along our highways; such post cards from a vibrant Punjab have fascinated all and sundry

and made the dhaba eating a

very in thing.

Today a diverse range of dhabas with a touch of local flavour, dot the map of India from

Kashmir to Chennai and Mizoram to Kutch.

What makes a dhaba a roaring success; the food, the economies of scale, the coolness

associated with it. What is the deep impact of these food joints as they leave a social

imprint on their immediate society?

First of all, it is definitely the food that makes a dhaba special and popular. For instance

cruising along the NH1 one could choose from various famous dhabas; some boast of

offering the best masala teas. This is our own desi version of tea. A mixture of fresh milk,

generous amount of sugar and tea leaves all brewed with a hint of cinnamon, ginger etc to

provide flavors that can reminds you of India no matter where ever you are. Our own

masala chai, now adores the five star menu too.

Other dhabas that can break your

journey would be the vegetarians

haven as they set forth a grand menu;

indulging chanaa bhaturas for

breakfast; the divine tadka daal with

liberal dosage of ghee; the crisp

tandoori rotis and succulent paneer preparations. The non-vegetarians trot along the

length and breadth of the highways in search of tender juicy kebabs and the best tandoori

chicken which has become the mascot of a Punjabi kitchen. With their mutton and

chicken offerings some dhabas have scripted a tale of rags to riches. It is all a matter of

striking the right cord with the taste buds of the customer.

As dhabas gained popularity, a subtle cultural revolution occurred. Dhabas and their side

effects have a deep connect with all of us. Affluence reached the sidelines of our

highways courtesy these improvised eateries. Governments sat up and took notice and

launched into a program to create tourism nodes along the roads, these were equipped

with rooms and all amenities for night stays and offered safe parking and good food.

Some of these projects are a roaring success story.

The recent up gradation of fuel pumps into swanky outlets with toilets, convenient stores

and fast food joints all within the same premises things are changing rapidly.

Multinational fast food giants recognized the spending potential of the affluent Punjabi

and came in by the dozen to set up shop.

The dhabas were never to be left behind. The challenge has been well countered by

upgrading to air-conditioned halls; new found awareness and concern for hygiene; and

today dhabas offer food, entertainment zones for children, book shops. They even delight

and bemuse the tourists with a glimpse of the lost heritage and culture with theme based

dhabas that have elaborate displays that provide a museum like feel to the visitor. Live

music and dance, cultural activities, camel rides, fortune tellers, Ferris wheels, name the

selling gimmick in the book and it is being tried by the dhabas to woo customers.))

We did a survey asking some simple questions about what people really looking for,

when they go to eat at Dhaba.

Taste does matter

It was good food, which tops the

chart. Its simply the hot fresh food,

which bring back the people to

Dhabas. Just the basic tasty food and

people are willing to forget ambience

service.

Are you willing to pay more if Hygienic condition of your Dhaba improves?

As we are getting more and more

conscious about Hygienic so that is

one area where Dhaba are lacking

behind as per our survey. People are

ready to pay from 10-20% more in case

Hygienic condition of their Dhabas

improve.

Kind of Food preferred by Patrons

Is Paratha main attraction at Dhaba?

 75% People agree that

Dhaba menu are full of

varieties and everybody

has something

available, which he or

she likes, but still almost

all people agreed that its the good old Parathas, which make Dhabas so

inviting.

Overall rating above average Not bad!

Overall despite all odd on an average all respondent have rated their favortite

dhaba more than average.

Our own favorite Dhaba - Laxman Da dhaba

The Dhabas in and around IIFT are one amongst the most popular food joints

among south Delhi students

The most famous amongst the lot is the Dhaba- Popularly known as "Laxman

ka Dhaba", which is chiefly famous for its delicious and heavy parathas

It's located in the heart of the Qutub Institutional area of Delhi right opposite

to the Indian Institute of Foreign trade and one can see groups of students from

various institutes thronging the place.

People love it for the whole gamut of paranthas , maggi or a cup of tea to

name a few items from the menu list.

Origin

It was set around 17-20 years back. Currently it is jointly owned by a group of

young boys from areas like North East and U.P who, work hard day in and out

to satisfy the taste buds of the budding young professionals.

Ambience

To begin with, a comment on the ambience of the Laxman Dhaba, which like

most others includes buzzing flies, grime and an envelope of fumes

surrounding it.

The eating area is limited to a few plastic tables and chairs. The rest is open sky

with a canopy of trees and the charred interiors of the tandoor, a huge clay

stove filled with charcoal to roast the meat or prepare the rotis adds to the

charm of the place.

The energy surrounding it

One must see the time around 1 PM or 5 PM when one can see hoards of

students coming in and going out and relaxing at the joint. It is the meeting

point for students from the surrounding B schools Fore, IMI, IIFT and many

more which makes the atmosphere quite electric and vibrant.

Revenue
As asked from Vishnu the young lad from Dhaba , the average daily sale

could be anywhere around Rs 4000-Rs 6000.

During the vacation of the colleges in June/July the sale dips down. But that

doesnt lower their spirits as they have a customer base from the non-student

backgrounds as well who just stroll down to the place to have a bite.

Popularity

The popularity of the joint can be gauged from the no. of blogs and pages

created on social networking sites like Facebook and Pagalguy to name

amongst a few which has hordes of people liking the place and commenting

upon the same.

The Dhaba now have a celebrity endorsement too in its name in the form of a

banner hung right infront on the brick wall of the joint of Famous Bollywood

star Ranbir Kapoor visiting the place to promote one of his films.

Favorite among all iiftian our own Laxman Da Dhaba. Survey findings are

clearly telling its popularity. Many respondents are regular at this dhaba and

most respondent have at least heard about it if not visited it.

Laxman da Dhaba speciality

The menu of this Dhaba starts by We Believe in Quality Service.

The simple vegetarian meal served could be Paratha of different kinds

depending on the type of vegetable stuffing one wishes to have the Aloo

Parathas (Potato parathas) which are mashed potatoes stuffed between flat

bread made out of kneaded Atta (wheat flour) is the most popular. Parathas,

with cooked mashed and spiced vegetables as stuffing such as Gobi

(Cauliflower) are also popular for breakfast with yoghurt or curds or tea.

Vegetarian meal for lunch or dinner consists of Chana (Horse gram) masala.

(mixture), Channa Pindi, vegetables and lentils, Sarson Ka Saag, Palak Paneer,

Barwan Karela and Subz Korma, Rajma (kidney beans) or Kadhi (curd curry).

One major attraction of this Dhaba is Non-vegetarian Paranthas. Chicken

Paranthas, Keema Parantha, Egg Paranthas etc. The Keema Paranathas have

been loved by the Bollywood Star Ranbeer Kapoor also. We can see youngsters

from different parts of the city coming to this Dhaba for Non Veg Paranthas.

There Special Family mix parantha is speciality in Paranthas with size big

enough to serve 2-3 people.

This is confirm by our survey also. No matter what varieties Dhaba servies

Parathas are always numero uno choice of cutomer.

Punjabi food without Dals would be incomplete and therefore Sukhi Dal, Dhuli

Urad Dal, Dal Makhni, and Rajmah Masala complement every meal. The Dals

are made of whole pulses like Black Gram, Green Gram and Bengal Gram.

They are cooked on a slow fire, often simmered for hours till they turn creamy

and then are flavoured with spices and rounded off with malai (cream) to get a

rich finish.

Paneer (cottage cheese a low fat item) dishes are a must in a vegetarian menu.

Several delectable items are made out of the Paneer, the bland derivative of

milk, innovatively cooked as the Kadai Paneer and Makhani Paneer. It is

cooked with every kind of vegetable, the popular dishes of such variety

are Palak Paneer or Saag Paneer (pureed creamed spinach with homemade

cheese cubes), Mutter Paneer, etc.

Naan and Paratha (fried bread layered with cooked, mashed and spiced

vegetables, fried on pan), rotis made of maize flour (Makke-di-

Roti), Chappatis made out of the flour of maize and Rumali Rotis (multilayered

bread) are typical Punjabi breads. Khasta Roti, Methi Paratha and Lasooni

(Garlic) Nan are also popular.

 The simplest of the

Punjabi meal

served in a Dhaba

could be

Tandoorias or

Rotis or Phulkas

with Dal and/or

Raita (Raita is spiced yogurt with vegetables) and Muthi-Piaz (onions split

open by smashing them with a fist).

The menu will not just get finshed here. Other different cuisines are also

available in this dhaba in wide range. The Chinese one includes chowmein,

Chinese Rolls, soups etc. Famous amongst all of us Maggi is also served here

with special taste added to it.

This Dhaba does not just end up here with its effort to satisfy its customers.

They provide free home delivery service to their customers within a range of 4

kms and that too on just a bicycle. The doorstep service is famous amongst

IIFT hostel students. They do not have to be worried if there are hungry during

late night. Also they even provide the service for private parties like kitty

parties and the birthday Parties.

OH YAARA. AE LAXMAN DA DHABA HEGA.!!!!

LOCATION: There is nothing quite like telling young Delhiites what the city

used to be like 30 years ago. People hanging out near Qutub Institutional Area

those days with friends had no place beyond IIT and JNU but a wild jungle.

Vasant Kunj was still to come up and stepping beyond the campus of either of

the two institutes was literally like going into the wilderness. The dhaba is right

next to the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade. The Dhaba, is bang opposite the

wall of the Katwaria Sarai cremation ground! Be that as it may, it is a great

place for paranthas.

BLOGS and FACEBOOK PAGE: The Laxman dhaba has a facebook page

created by its own lovers with many likes added to it. Many people share there

pleasant experiences on it. Students have shared their love by posting the

feedbacks or by writing blogs on sites like hindu.com, pagalguy.com. People

have also expressed their liking by tweeting on the twitter also

Superstars even love it

Accompanied by Ranbir's trainer Pradeep, and producer Hiren Gandhi, the

team made a quick stopover at Laxman Fast Food at the Qutub Institutional

Area road late into the night and dug into a dozen keema and anda paranthas, at

a place discovered by Pradeep during his college days in Delhi.

The DHABA at IIFT has gained immense popularity, thanks to the students

community surrounding this hangout of Fun & Laughter. It traces its origins

way back 2 decades when the Qutab Institutional area was getting developed

and the culture of eating roadside like in highways was gaining popularity in

cities also.

With students particularly it has always been a case of less money & DHABAs

have come to a great rescue by offering delicious Indian food, particularly at

mouth-watering adding to their popularity manifold. At IIFT also, DHABAs

have been of huge support to the students not just at IIFT but to the students at

FORE & IMI also. They remain open till late in the night making it all the more

convenient for students studying and hanging out at night to venture there and

have their tummy full with delicious food.

Yes Its cool to eat at Dhaba!

We also tried finding if there is anything else besides tasty food which brings

peope back to Dhaba and the answer is

60% people feels it cool to eat at

Dhaba. No wonder lot of food blog,

food article and Dhabas visited by

celebrities have made them a cool

place to eat. The second reason was that people love to reminisce, they just

want to remember good old day from their student life and try to visit the same

place, which they used to visit earlier.

Coming back to Dhaba culture in larger perspective the evolution of highway

eating is fascinating and so is the social footprint. Scores of dhabas have

become nodal points for prostitution that goes on to be the main cause for the

spread of the HIV virus and AIDS. Often the spread has been attributed to truck

drivers and national level programs have been put in place to fight the HIV and

AIDS menace. Most of these programs with active NGO participation are

targeting the dhabas where the truck drivers are put through awareness and

counseling sessions. The very reason that dhabas mushroom at will makes data

collection and a structured approach difficult.

Another negative impact of the dhabas is child labour as quite often children

from poor village families drop out from schools and serve in a dhaba. Washing

dishes and serving tables for a measly sum, these school dropouts defeat the

dream of an educated India that can propel us to greater things in the future.

Again counsel and stricter action against the defaulting owners is being put into

practice and we hear of raids on some infamous dhabas through media

coverage.

A highway drive by night is a different experience all together. Brightly lit with

100w bulbs, fancy blinkers and neon signs, the dhabas are all dressed to party

and invite you into the wee hours of the night. Equally well lit are the liquor

shops and drinking places. Strategically placed next to the dhabas, a marriage

of convenience affords the luxury of sitting and drinking while piping hot food

is served. Though warning signs all along the highway advice against drinking

and driving, but are often not heeded and terrible accidents occur. Apart from

this a growing challenge of drug pedaling has come up before the law

enforcing agencies. The dhabas are again in the firing line as such transactions

occur at dhabas, some selling them openly when demanded.

Despite the ill effects and the flip side, a majority adores the dhaba experience.

It is a foodies delight and a story of a wonderful culinary triumph that is

written everyday along the great highways of our nation. A thriving economy,

complete with a variety of offerings in food, hygiene standards and parking

space; the Indian dhaba food experience is one to be savored with delight for

this shudh swadeshi flavour bears a Made in India stamp all over.

Bypass Meerut city towards Roorke on NH 58. Before the bypass was created

in 1980s, the road used to go through Meerut City and take one hour extra

depending upon the traffic in Meerut city and whether the railway level

crossing was open or closed. Now the national highway 58 bypasses Meerut

city and saves time.

Refreshing Halt On Highway NH 58

Reviewed 9 December 2014

If you are driving on NH 58 from Delhi to Haridwar / Dehradun, there is no

dearth of places where you can make a pit-stop to grab a bite and freshen up.

While some are passable, there are only a handful of places that make the mark

when it comes to hygiene and good food.

As a frequent road traveller on this route I have tried several such places.
However, for the last few trips, including the one that I made today from

Haridwar to Delhi, I have stopped at Namaste Midway. It is located some 100

odd KMs from Delhi, on the left hand side of the highway if you are driving

towards Haridwar. You really cannot miss the place as it has a large

McDonald's Drive Thru sign towering over the place which is visible from

quite a distance.

What sets this place apart is that it is not one single restaurant but franchises of

several well-known food chain outlets located in the same complex. The

complex itself is quite big and there is ample parking which is supervised by

security guards so you need not worry about leaving your luggage unattended

in the vehicle.

Within the same complex you will find outlets for Haldiram's, McDonald,

Costa Coffee, Subway and Baskin Robbins. Also located within the complex

are an ATM, a Paan shop and a fresh juice outlet, so there is something

available for every taste.

Within the last four months itself I have made three trips on this route and each

time, I have stopped here, both - while going towards Haridwar as well as on

the return leg, and with good reason.

First and foremost, the food outlets are very neat and clean, as are the
surroundings, which is one of the first things that a traveller would look for.

Secondly, the food is quite good. I have tried the Haldiram's and McDonalds

and the quality is up to the mark. While it is pretty standard fare that is served

in all such franchise outlets, it is fresh and clean.

The complex also houses a large Handicrafts store that promotes Indian

handicrafts and there is a wide range on offer. The prices, however, are similar

to what you would find in upmarket emporiums. There is even a cart that sells

freshly prepared jaggery, which is again hygienically packed.

Not to be missed is the ready-made masala tea at Haldiram's, which alone is

worth stopping for. And if you are not a tea lover, go for the fresh sugarcane

juice in their Juice vending unit located near the ATM. Andd don't worry about

the juice being infested with flies as it is extracted in a special machine in an

air-con area with no flies in sight whatsoever.

Last but not the least is their washrooms area. The washrooms are very clean

and there is an attendant permanently on duty, cleaning the place frequently.

When you are on a long drive on a highway, such a facility alone is worth the

stop.

Would definitely stop here again on my future visits.

This restaurant on the way to Rishikesh was so delicious, my boyfriend and I

stopped on the way back!

The first time, I got a sweet lassi which they serve cold in metal cups, which

holds the cold in more. I also got chicken tikka without sauce. My boyfriend

got a chicken pizza but I didn't love it. He did. The second time i got the same
thing, but he changed up and got chicken soup and cheese pakora. Both were

delicious.

Service was good and the restaurant was extraordinarily clean.

I like the sign that says not to pay to use the restroom. Of course, I wanted to

give the attendant something and did, but it's nice to not feel forced.

The outside of the restaurant is beautiful with a lot of flowers outside.

his was my 5th to Cheetal Grand since last 5 years and it was the only stop

where you can stop without thinking about the taste or price.

However this time something was different.. We were greeted with

Mix Pakoras made of Maida (Corn Flour) and even the masala Dosa we

ordered had ample amount of Corn Flour mixed in it.

These two were always my family's best bet whenever we visited Cheetal

Grand....

So would request people to think before you go there... It's only a name now...

This place has been around in various avatars since my childhood . The latest

version does not disappoint . Though it misses the charm and open ambience of

the old canal side location , the culinary skills are not lost . Specials are the

various types of omelettes , pakorasand the veg chow mein . Excellent cold
coffee as well and stalls selling gelato and various imported chocolates .

Definite stop
