The minister said that, with the inauguration and foundation-laying of these projects, Jind will emerge as the confluence of confidence, development, and the future for Haryana on July 17. He added that the Prime Minister's visit would strengthen the state's infrastructure while creating new opportunities for industrial and commercial growth.
The projects, he said, will provide direct benefits to the people of Haryana by improving healthcare services and enhancing road and transport connectivity across the state.
