Among the key projects, the Speaker laid the foundation stone for a 1278-metre road from the PWD road to the cremation ground in Bharatpur village.

Inaugurating a newly constructed 220-metre link road from Mundi Garhi-Garhi Khajoor road to Bassi village, built by the Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board at a cost of Rs 27 lakh, Kalyan emphasised the pace of development in the area. In Garhi Khajoor, he laid the foundation stone for 14 classrooms at Government Senior Secondary School under the Haryana School Shiksha Pariyojna Parishad.

Speaking to villagers in Sadarpur, Kalyan highlighted that the long-pending demand for a health sub-centre is finally being fulfilled.
