The foundation stone of the country’s largest international terminal market for fruits and vegetables was laid down by Congress MP and party vice president Rahul Gandhi and Haryana Chief Minister Shri Bhupinder Singh Hooda in Gannaur city of Sonipat district, Haryana on 24th February. The project is constructed over 536 acres of land at an estimated cost of around Rs. 1500 crore. The project, situated in close proximity to NCR, will be hugely beneficial for the farmers of the northern states. It will also help in decongesting the Azadpur Mandi of Delhi.
Union Minister for
Rural Development, Jairam Ramesh, Congress General
Secretary and party's in-charge for Haryana affairs, Shakeel Ahmed, senior
Congress leader Renuka Chaudhary, Haryana Congress
President Ashok
Tanwar and a number of Haryana MPs, Ministers and MLAs from the
State were also present on this occasion.
The market is being designed along the lines of Rungis
International Market in France and will be equipped with all the modern
facilities. Apart from this a national horticulture arcade is also being
developed in the market.
The planning has been done in such a way
that concerned undertakings of both centre and state will be able find space
for themselves. The intention is to not only promote state specific products
but also provide national and international facilities for selling them.
Shri Deepender Singh Hooda has always
been proactive in making strategies for development and prosperity of farmers
in the country.
