“Today, I have come to my village, and this village is very special to me. In a way, my childhood has been spent here, and my education also took place in this village.

I have donated approximately 200 yards to my village,” CM Khattar said.

He added that creating a library for the people of the village gives him immense pleasure: “The goal is to establish an E-library for future generations, ensuring educational resources for children and youth of the village. After creating the library, if required, other uses can also be explored. This announcement brings me immense joy.”

And what best way to immortalize a dwelling than donating it for a noble cause. Respects.”

Today, by inaugurating the city bus service in Panipat, he dedicated electric and air-conditioned buses to the service of the people of Haryana, and himself enjoyed the bus journey.
