Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday said the Nangal Chaudhary region in southern Haryana is set to emerge as one of the country’s major economic capitals, with the commissioning of rail connectivity to the Integrated Multi-Modal Logistics Hub (IMLH) expected to provide a major boost to industry, trade, and employment.
The project would particularly benefit Mahendragarh, Rewari and adjoining areas by enabling agricultural produce, industrial goods and merchandise to reach the Mumbai port and global markets more efficiently. He said the project was rooted in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a Viksit Bharat by 2047, while former chief minister Manohar Lal had laid its foundation.
Interacting with mediapersons and later with industrialists and investors after the inauguration ceremony, Saini said the flagging off of the freight train was not merely the launch of a rail facility but the beginning of a “new economic momentum” for Haryana. Under Modi’s guidance and monitoring, the logistics hub would become a milestone in Haryana’s economic development, he said. Saini said Haryana would no longer remain merely a producer of goods but would develop into a major hub for connecting products from the state with domestic and international markets.
Addressing a Samrasta Sammelan and Pratibha Samman Samaroh organised by the Meghwal Utthan Samiti in Bawal in Rewari district on Sunday, the chief minister said social harmony did not mean erasing individual identities but respecting every identity while strengthening unity.
Around 1,000 libraries have already been opened, and the initiative would be expanded to villages across the state.
He said the state government was pursuing the principle of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas” and the goal of Antyodaya to ensure that development benefits reached the most deprived sections. The chief minister said the government was making efforts to ensure that financial constraints did not prevent talented students from pursuing their aspirations. He said the government aimed to establish libraries in every panchayat.
