            In reply to a question he said that the Land Acquisition Policy of Haryana has become a role model for the entire country. Along with land compensation, attractive royalty given every year is also a big facility provided to the land owners. He said that the people view land acquisition in rural areas of Haryana as a means of  progress. Residents of many villages have expressed their gratitude, he added.  

A number of people including Sarpanches and villagers who were led by Mr Jaideep Singh Dhankhar, expressed their gratitude to Mr Hooda for approving the proposal of the Suzuki company to set up its manufacturing facility for two wheelers in Rohtak.
