CHANDIGARH:
Haryana Chief Minister,
Manohar Lal Khattar said on Tuesday that the concerted efforts made by the state government to set up a rail coach refurbishing and rehabilitation factory at
Barhi in
Ganaur, district Sonepat, have borne fruit.
Decks have now been cleared for transfer of land for setting up the factory.
To be set up at a cost of about Rs 600 crore, the factory would not only provide direct and indirect employment to thousands of youth but would also offer opportunities of skill development. It would accelerate the pace of development and help in setting up of various subsidiary units, including small and medium enterprises, he added.
The Chief Minister said the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) had cleared all technical barriers for setting up the factory. The HSIIDC would give 161.48 acres of land to the
Railways on lease of 99 years where about 500-700 rail coaches would be refurbished and rehabilitated.
Both the HSIIDC and Railways have agreed on all necessary points of the project, including the process of land transfer. Possession of this land would soon be given to the Railways after which the construction work would be started.
All buildings under this project would be constructed as per the Haryana Building Code. In order to meet the water requirements, tubewells would be constructed as per government’s policy, he added .
