Chandigarh,
The state government plans to come out with a liberal retail policy next month which would contain various provisions, including opening of 24×7 stores in the state. Given the rising number of middle class population, Haryana has great potential for such stores.

This was disclosed by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar while interacting with Dubai-based business tycoons and leaders of various groups in Dubai yesterday.

The interaction was attended by Landmark Group, NMC, Al Maya Group, Diplomats Summit, UK, Hakan Agro and NIFTEM having interests in fields like retail, rice processing, exports, healthcare, and bringing investments into Haryana.

The Chief Minister is leading a high-level delegation to Dubai to woo investors. He was received at the airport by Vipul, Consul General, Consulate General of India in Dubai. The delegation includes Industries Minister Vipul Goel, Chief Secretary DS Dhesi, and Principal Secretary, Industries, Sudhir Rajpal.

In a meeting with the Landmark Group, the Chief Minister offered help to skill its employees, and said the state would also supply staff to the group through a training programme.

He also offered to organise a buyer-supplier meet for the Landmark Group in January, where smaller suppliers can exhibit their products.

Additionally, one-on-one meeting with major suppliers could be arranged with the help of the state government, said Khattar.
