Khattar writes to Prabhu for Farukhnagar-Dadri rail line

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today urged Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu demanding construction of a new railway line from Farukhnagar to Charkhi Dadri via Jhajjar in railway work programme.
In his demi-official letter to Prabhu, the Chief Minister drew his attention to the fact that despite being on the railway map of India, Farukhnagar and Charkhi Dadri, soon to be 22nd district of Haryana, have no direct rail connectivity.
The Chief Minister said Farukhnagar is connected by rail from Gurgaon, and Charkhi Dadri from Bhiwani and Rewari.
"There is a huge public demand for construction of a direct railway line from Farukhnagar to Charkhi Dadri via Jhajjar, which is already connected by rail from Rohtak and Rewari.," he said.

He said the new railway line would help decongest traffic in the National Capital Region and divert railway traffic during maintenance and other such exigencies.
