Tohana (Fatehabad) : It was due to Rohtak MP Deepender Singh Hooda’s efforts that the Indian Railways started the Shatabdi Express between Delhi and Ludhiana and it was because of the endeavours of Sirsa MP Ashok Tanwar that the train’s halt at Tohana was made possible. Both Hooda and Tanwar chose to travel by the Shatabdi, when they had to participate in programmes in Ratia and Kalanwali recently.“The running of the Shatabdi Express train between Delhi to Ludhiana will prove a boon for Haryana and its stoppage at Tohana is no less than a gift for this parliamentary constituency,” Deepender Singh Hooda said after alighting from the train at Tohana Railway Station.He said he was happy that he had reached Tohana by boarding this train.He said Sirsa MP Ashok Tanwar was pleading on behalf of the people of this area before the central and state governments regarding this issue.Replying to a question regarding the setting up of the Gorakhpur nuclear power plant, he said nuclear power plant was need of the hour as demand for power had increased manifold.“Nuclear power plants are being set up in many countries and they are completely safe. All the apprehensions of the people will be dispelled with the passage of time and they will appreciate the nuclear plant,” Hooda said.Hooda congratulated Tanwar and also praised his party workers for the development works undertaken in the Sirsa parliamentary constituency.

“We all are working unitedly for ensuring holistic development of the state and we are getting whole-hearted cooperation from the public in this regard,” he added.

Tanwar asked the party workers to work sincerely for strengthening the organisation.

He said the train would benefit not only the people of Tohana, but also the people of Jakhal and Fatehabad districts.
