Haryana Chief Minister, Manohar Lal Khattar, on Saturday said Dhosi Hill in Narnaul would be developed as a pilgrimage site.

A road will be built for the pilgrims so that the tourists can reach here easily. After the road is built, other possibilities will also be explored here, the CM said while addressing a programme after visiting Dhosi Hill in Narnaul today.

“After 25 years I have got a chance to come here. Dhosi Hill will be developed as the best pilgrimage site. Initially, a road will be made from the side of the Thana village. Parking of vehicles will be arranged a little before the Hill climb begins so that there is no pollution around the mountain. After this, a ropeway will be built on the PPP model from Kultajpur village,” Khattar said.

The CM said after the construction of the road, a big centre of Panchakarma and Ayush wellness will also be opened at this place by the AYUSH department. Tourists will take health benefits in this centre and possibilities of paragliding would also be explored here to promote aero sports, Khattar added.
