The foundation stone of two mega projects namely Hisar-Rohtak National Highway and Hansi-Meham-Rohtak Railway line costing about `1,500 crore would be laid on July 28.
Rohtak MP Deepender Singh Hooda said that including District Hisar, a large part of Haryana would be directly connected to Delhi through railways and roads. Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Oscar Fernandes, Union Railway Minister Mallikarjun Kharge and Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda would lay the foundation stone of railway line to be setup between National Highways Hisar-Rohtak and Hansi-Meham-Rohtak.
He said that about Rs 1000 crore would be spent on the construction of this 99 km long highway. Similarly, over Rs 500 crore would be spent on Hansi-Meham-Rohtak railway line.
With these two projects, a new industrial corridor would be developed from Delhi to Hisar and various other opportunities of development would emerge. With this, Fatehabad, Hisar and district Sirsa falling in western Haryana would directly get connected to national capital Delhi and with the six laning of Hisar-Rohtak national highways, the road travel between Hisar and Delhi would become easier and smooth, he added.
