ਵਿਸ਼ਾਲ ਭਾਰਤ ਵਿਚ ਸਬ ਤੋਂ ਲੰਬੀ ਤੇ ਚੋੜੀ ਸੜਕ
ਨਰੇਲ ਤੋ ਫਾਜ਼ਿਲਕਾ,
ਫਿਰ ਮੋਜ੍ਮ ਪਿੰਡ ਤੋ ਸਤਲੁਜ ਦਰਿਆ ਪਾਰ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਇਹ ਸੜਕ ਓਕਾੜਾ (ਹੁਣ ਪਾਕਿਸਤਾਨ) ਤਕ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਸੀ
ਇਸ ਸੜਕ ਨੂੰ ਜਰਨੈਲੀ ਸੜਕ ਵੀ ਕਹਿੰਦੇ ਸਨ, ਫਿਰ ਲਾਲ ਸੜਕ, ਫ੍ਰੀਡਮ ਫਾਈਟਰ ਰੋਡ ਤੇ ਅਜ ਕਲ ਸ਼ਰਮਾ ਹਸਪਤਾਲ ਦੇ ਨਾਮ ਨਾਲ ਇਹ ਸੜਕ ਜਾਣੀ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ

The Rewari-Firozpur Railway, opened
in 1885, runs across the north-east of the District, passing through
Sirsa town. There are no masonry roads in the District, except for a
mile or two in and near Sirsa and Fazilka towns. A good wide
unmetalled road enters the District at Narel from Hissar, and runs by
Sirsa, Dabwali, and Fazilka to Muazzam on the Sutlej, where there is
a ferry, and so on to Okara, a station on the Sind, Punjab, and Delhi
Railway in Montgomery District. Another broad road runs to the west
of this, nearly the whole length of the District from Sirsa via Abohar
to P'azilka, and is much used by Povindah traders from the frontier,
who annually pass through the District in the cold weather, with their
long strings of camels laden with merchandise from Kabul and
Kandahar, on their way to Delhi and the North-Western Provinces.
Other roads run from Sirsa north-east to Rori, south-east to Darba,
south to Jamal, and west to Ellenabad ; from Malaut south-west to
Abohar and Usman Khera, and north to Muktsar ; from Fazilka north-
east towards Firozpur, and south-west towards Bahawalpur. Except
during the rainy season, there are no serious obstacles to traffic, though
in the dry hot weather great difficulty is sometimes experienced from
want of water. Total length of District roads (1884-85), 500 miles;
railways, 35 miles; navigable rivers, 20 miles.
