Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today said his government plans to mark its three years with a massive rally in October and a slew of events, including a good governance conclave.

"It has been decided that the rally will also commemorate the concluding ceremony of the state's Swarna Jayanti Year. The date and venue of the proposed rally would be finalised soon," the chief minister said.
