He also briefed them about the proposal to develop Gurgaon, Ambala, Faridabad and Panipat as smart cities, and set up a Mass Rapid Transit System in almost all million plus population cities of the state, the Haryana government's release said.

American Fortune 100 multinational conglomerate Honeywell International said it is actively considering a proposal to expand its operations in Haryana by setting up a research centre in the oil and gas sector during a meeting with Khattar who visited the technology centre of Honeywell Technologies here on Wednesday.
