The spokesperson said Farukhnagar is connected to Garhi Harsaru and Garhi Harsaru to Patli and a new line of about 60 kms will be built for Patli to Asaoti, through Manesar and Sohna.

The route will provide direct connectivity for Faridabad, Ballabhgarh, Palwal, Sohna and Gurugram, with other districts of Haryana and Chandigarh, the spokesman said. It will facilitate better connectivity and faster commute to all important places, including state capital Chandigarh, as the route bypasses Delhi, he added. The development of this 95-km line will help in development of new greenfield projects of multi-modal logistic parks (MMLPs) by the Container Corporation of India (CONCOR) or others, the spokesperson said. “This route would also facilitate direct connectivity for the CONCOR depot at Tughlakabad, to various important destinations in Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat,” he said.
