Haryana government would soon frame a textile policy to explore the abundant possibilities of textile industry in the state, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said today.
"A textile policy will be framed soon...," Khattar, who was speaking at a cultural programme of Uttarakhand - Uttaraini Kautik 2017 - said.
The Chief Minister also announced to start bus service from Gurugram to Haldwani in Uttarakhand.
He also urged Union Minister of State for Textiles Ajay Tamta, who was also present on the occasion, to approve more textile projects for Haryana, which has abundant potential for investment in the sector.
"Work on the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway is progressing on a war footing and several projects would be established along the both sides of the Expressway. These could include textile projects, which would generate employment opportunities for the youth of the state, besides people belonging to other states but residing in Haryana," he said.
Khattar said the people from other countries and states, including Uttarakhand, had contributed significantly towards developing Gurugram as a 'Millennium City'.
The Lakhwar and Kisau hydel-power projects, which are presently under construction, would provide electricity to Uttarakhand and water to Haryana, he added.
