New Delhi, Jan 8 (UNI) A 16-member delegation of US-India Business Alliance (USIBA) has met Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and forwarded a proposal to establish an American Technology Park in Haryana.

Besides, the state government has been making concerted efforts to provide best possible road and rail connectivity in the region, he said.
