CHANDIGARH, SEPT 24

 Member of Parliament from Rohtak, Mr.Deepender Singh Hooda, today said that the work on Hansi-Rohtak rail line would begin soon after the laying of its foundation stone of the project within next two months of time. He said that the project would open vistas of fast paced progress in the whole area as the Electric Multiple Units (EMU) trains running on that track would reduce the travelling time between Hansi-Delhi to one to one and half hours only.

                Mr Hooda was addressing a well attended public meeting at village Dhana Kalan near Hansi on Monday. The function was organized by Shahid Samiti, Dhana Kalan to commemorate the Martyr Rao Tula Ram. Apart from Haryana Health Minister Rao Narender Singh, Chief Parliamentary Secretary Mr Vinod Bhayana and thousands of people also participated in the function to pay their tributes to Rao Tula Ram. Later Mr Hooda also addressed number of village level meetings at Sultanpur, Ghirai, Gangan Kheri, Kumbha and Thurana, which were attended by thousands of local people.

                 While paying rich tributes to Rao Tula Ram, Mr Hooda recalled his contribution. He said that the people should learn from the sacrifices of the martyrs and freedom fighters and collectively work together to realize their dreams. He said that we should not ask what the country is doing for us, rather we should think, what we could do for the country. 

                Mr Hooda said that during the last seven years the present Government has made sincere efforts to take the state of Haryana ahead on the path of progress. He said that many Chief Ministers served the state but not a single kilometer of new rail track was set up in the state during the period of 1966 to 2005, whereas the work on Rewari-Jhajjhar and Jind-Sonipat had not only be started but was on going on fast pace since 2005. 

          Mr. Hooda said that today is the era of awareness and the people were quite aware of everything. He said that prior to 2005 in the State, there was only one power plant in Panipat but during the last seven years, power plants have been set up in Jhajjar, Khedar in Hisar and Yamununagar. Apart from this, a huge power plant was being set up in village Gorakhpur in district Fatehabad. He said that the problem of electricity could be resolved only by setting up new power plants. In a direct question to the people, he asked why the opposition leaders opposed the power plant being set up in Fatehabad, why they did not think about the future generations ? While thanking the farmers of Gorakhpur, Mr. Hooda said that the people did not listen to the opposition and all farmers have received the due compensation for their land.

          Mr. Hooda said that opposition parties have no concern for the people of the State. He said that the opposition should not hamper the development taking place in the State rather they should demand more development projects.

           He said that everyone was aware that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) would benefit both the consumers and farmers and the traders also would not face any loss. He said that the opposition should also think positively for the nation. 

                  Haryana Health Minister Rao Narender Singh, Chief Parliamentary Secretary Mr Vinod Bhayana, former minister Mr Attar Singh Saini, former MLA Prof Ram Bhagat Sharma, Hisar Zila Parishad President Rajinder Sura were also present in the meetings.
