In addition to aviation developments, Goyal mentioned the state’s plan to promote tourism through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model for five tourism spots, including the popular Suraj Kund fair which will now be held twice annually due to its increasing popularity.

Lastly he noted that Hisar and the entire state will soon be connected by helicopter services, enhancing connectivity and accessibility across regions.
