Freight train will usher economic momentum, says Haryana CM
Chandigarh, Aug 23
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini after inaugurating rail connectivity to the Integrated Multi-Modal Logistics Hub in Nangal Chaudhary in Mahendragarh district on Sunday said this was not merely a freight train that was flagged off, but the new economic momentum had received the green signal.
Interacting with industrialists, the Chief Minister said Haryana would no longer remain merely a producer of goods, but would emerge as a major hub for efficiently connecting its products with both global and domestic markets.
Expressing gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for this far-reaching project, Chief Minister Saini said that under the Prime Minister's continuous guidance and monitoring, this Integrated Multi-Modal Logistics Hub would prove to be a historic milestone in the overall development of the state.
He said that former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar had laid a strong foundation for this ambitious project.
Now, the project would serve as a cornerstone in fulfilling the Prime Minister's national resolve of building a 'Viksit Bharat by 2047'.
The Chief Minister said the state government's new development model was progressing rapidly on the ground.
Through this model, local products from Haryana would now establish strong and direct access to major global markets, and the entire region would, in the coming years, establish itself as a major economic capital.
He said that from an overall perspective the entire project is being developed in two phases over 886 acres.
At present, work on the first phase covering 408 acres has been completed.
The Chief Minister said the modern logistics hub has been equipped with highly organised and time-efficient systems for freight movement, storage, loading and unloading of goods, and their prompt dispatch.
This would not only save industries considerable time and money but would also significantly enhance industrial efficiency.
He called upon leading entrepreneurs from the country and the state to participate actively in the invited tenders under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework and become active partners in Haryana's unprecedented journey of progress.
He said that this modern hub would open up countless new avenues of prosperity for local youth, traders and entrepreneurs in the days to come.
