== Transportation==
The city lies in between the main Delhi - Mumbai line. More than 1000 travelers commute daily from Lakheri to Kota, Jaipur and many other large cities by local train like Dehradun express, Avadh express, Firozpur janta express train. The city was previously bypassed by Indian Railway, which did not provide any passenger train stops. Gradually, train stops have been added, such as Kota Shriganganagar SF, Jodhpur Indore SF, but continuous urge for stoppage of dayodaya SF and jaipur-mumbai SF has been neglected by Railway Board.

City is also connected to Bundi through SH29 and to Kota and Jaipur through SH1. Bus service in the city is in poor condition as Rajasthan Roadways has no routine bus service and no express, silver line or blue line buses. Two couple of buses one from kota and one from baran to jaipur passes through the town. Although private travellers' buses between indergarh and kota comes every half an hour.

City is looking forward for development as the bharatmala project Delhi-Mumbai route is planned to pass through outskirt of lakheri.

== Health services==
There is a shortage of medical facilities in the city, except for the presence of the following:{{cn|date=January 2019}}

:# Saxena nursing home
:# Other private practitioners
