Modi dedicates Rewari-Madar section of Western Dedicated Freight Corridor to nation

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today dedicated the 306-km New Rewari-New Madar section of the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC) to the nation. Through video-conferencing, Modi also flagged off the world's first double-stack long-haul 1.5-km-long container train hauled by electric traction from New Ateli-New Kishangarh.

Speaking on the occasion, PM Modi said, the dedicated freight corridor is being looked as a gamechanger for India. After a lot of hard work in the last five to six years, it has come to fruition. He also said, a few days ago, India approved two Made In India vaccines for COVID -19 instilling Indians with renewed self-confidence. He added that all these efforts and steps show the country is moving swiftly towards building a self-reliant India.

On this occasion, Rajasthan Governor Kalraj Mishra, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot were also present.

The New Rewari-New Madar section of the the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor is located in Haryana - approximately 79 km in Mahendragarh and Rewari districts - and Rajasthan - approximately 227 km in Jaipur, Ajmer, Sikar, Nagaur and Alwar districts.
