Chandigarh : The Haryana government Friday announced that a new township, Sampla, will be developed near Rohtak, about 60 km from the national capital.
The new urban estate will be located between Bahadurgarh and Rohtak towns.
Sampla will be spread over 7,180 hectares and will have three facilities – a cyber city, a medi-city and a biosciences city – in its vicinity. It will cater to a population of nearly 300,000 residents, Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said here.
The decision to develop a new city was taken at a meeting of the state-level committee of the town and country planning department here Friday under the chief minister.
“Out of 7,180-hectare of land, 1,070 hectares will be for developing the bioscience city, 550 hectares for medi-city and 223 hectares for cyber city. Forty sectors in all would be developed in the new Sampla urban complex,” Hooda said.
“Out of these, 19 sectors will be residential, eight sectors each will be reserved for industrial and institutional purposes and one sector each for commercial, transportation and communication. Open spaces will be kept in an area of three sectors.”
