Gyana Nand said that with the help of Haryana Government, we are trying to restore the sanctity of many religious places in the 48 ‘Kos’ area of holy Kurukshetra.
He said that it was in this regard that Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal had personally visited 41 important religious places during the past to take stock of the situation for their improvement.
Haryana Government is taking steps to propagate the message of Gita to the extent that whenever someone comes to India for tourism, they must visit Kurukshetra, the birthplace of Gita, he said.
