The youth of the state would not have to search for jobs as Management and Engneering institutions offered campus placements that would provide them with better job opportunities.

The chief minister also accorded approval to the ambitious scheme for the connecting road of Bhiwani and Jhajjar and asked the officers to regularly submit the report on developmental works of various villages of the district.

''Undoubtedly Rohtak would develop as a metro city in the next four to five years, but it should be ensured that the city has a planned development. The schemes would be implemented keeping in view the future requirements,'' he said.

He gave direction to hand over the work of maintenance and cleanliness of all the parks including the main Mansarovar Park to HUDA.
