Finally some focus on Haryanvi culture! The turban stall and traditional food section sound amazing. Hope they maintain the authenticity and don't commercialize it too much.

While I appreciate the cultural celebration, I hope the government is equally focused on addressing real issues like unemployment and farmer problems. Celebrations are good but shouldn't overshadow development work.

The food section has me most excited! Sarson ka saag with bajra roti is comfort food. Hope they maintain hygiene standards at the food stalls.
