On metro rail services, Solanki said the government has approved the extension of the metro line from Narela to Kundli in Sonipat district and has referred the matter to the Union Ministry of Urban Development for in-principle approval of assistance.
"Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has conducted the Techno Feasibility Study of metro connectivity between Faridabad and Gurgaon, and also of the link between Subhash Chowk to Railway Station, Gurgaon. It has found both these projects viable. Detailed Project Reports for these are being prepared," the governor told the State Assembly.
On agriculture and allied activities, he said the government will soon set up the Haryana Kisan Kalyan Pradhikaran to measures to make agriculture remunerative and enhance productivity to mitigate the physical, financial and psychological distress of farm household and landless workers.
