CHANDIGARH, JAN 18

The foundation stone of metro rail project between Bahadurgarh and Delhi costing Rs 1991 crore would be laid by Haryana Chief Minister, Mr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda at Bahadurgarh on February 2.

          While stating this today, MP from Rohtak, Mr. Deepender Singh Hooda said that Union Urban Development Minister, Mr. Kamal Nath along with other dignitaries would also be present on this occasion. He said that Bahadurgarh being gateway of Haryana, with the commissioning of the metro rail project, different parts of Haryana would be directly connected. Like Gurgaon and Faridabad metro rail projects, the State Government would also bear half of the expenditure of Bahadurgarh metro rail projects.

          He said that the length of metro route from Delhi to Bahdurgarh would be 11.182 km out of which 4.27 km would fall in Haryana and 6.307 km would be in Delhi. He said that Rs 912 crore would be spent on metro rail  falling in Haryana whereas Rs 1079 crore would be spent on metro rail   in Delhi. He said that the State Government would also provide land for setting up of metro depot in the State and would bear an expenditure of Rs 788 crore on this project. He said that all these metro train projects of Gurgaon, Faridabad and now Bahadurgarh are result of farsightedness of Mr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda.

          The MP said that expansion of Bahadurgarh-Mundka project to be started in February is likely to be completed in March 2016 which would facilitate people travelling between Bahardurgarh and Delhi. He said that expansion of such metro trains in the State would not only facilitate the people of the State, but would also attract investors and businessmen towards the State. He said that this would generate new employment opportunities and  would result in all round development of the State.
