CHANDIGARH: The Haryana Government has formulated a Draft Development Plan-2025 for beautification of Rohtak city, 70 km from Delhi, and for meeting the demands of growing population in the area for the next 20 years.

An official spokesman said here on Thursday that the population of Rohtak city was 2.95 lakh in 2001, which would increase to around 7 lakh in 2025.
