He will also address a public meeting. Thereafter, at around 12:30 p.m., he will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of development projects in Yamunanagar and address the gathering on the occasion.

In line with his commitment to make air travel safe, affordable, and accessible to all, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone of the new Terminal Building of the Maharaja Agrasen Airport in Hisar worth over Rs 410 crore. It will include a state-of-the-art passenger terminal, a cargo terminal and an ATC building. He will also flag off the first flight from Hisar to Ayodhya. With scheduled flights from Hisar to Ayodhya (twice weekly), three flights in a week to Jammu, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Chandigarh, this development will mark a significant leap in Haryana's aviation connectivity.

Boosting power infrastructure in the region, along with the vision of electricity reaching the last mile, Prime Minister Modi will lay the foundation stone for an 800 MW modern thermal power unit of Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram Thermal Power Plant at Yamunanagar. This unit, spread across 233 acres, costing around Rs 8,470 crore, will significantly boost Haryana's energy self-sufficiency and provide uninterrupted power supply across the state.

Taking forward the vision of GOBARDhan, i.e. Galvanising Organic Bio-Agro Resources Dhan, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone of a Compressed Biogas Plant in Mukarabpur, in Yamunanagar. The plant will have an annual production capacity of 2,600 metric tonnes and will help in effective organic waste management, while contributing to clean energy production and environmental conservation.

Prime Minister Modi will also inaugurate the 14.4 km Rewari Bypass project, worth around Rs 1,070 crore, under the Bharatmala Pariyojana. It will decongest Rewari city, reduce Delhi-Narnaul travel time by around one hour, and boost economic and social activity in the region.

While I appreciate the development projects, I wonder if the thermal power plant aligns with our climate goals. Could more investment go into renewable energy instead?

The Rewari Bypass is much needed! The traffic situation there has been horrible for years. This will save so much time for daily commuters.

I hope these projects are completed on time unlike some others we've seen. The plans sound good but execution matters most.
