Replying to media questions here before participating in the closing ceremony of installation of District Governor of Rotary International District 3090, Hooda made it clear that there was no difference in the relations between Himachal Pradesh and Haryana after a change of government in Himachal.

He stressed upon the need for constructing Renuka, Kisau and Lakhbar Vyasi dams on priority basis so that power and water could be made available through these dams to Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.

Hooda, in reply to a question about regional cooperation, said there were a number of issues, including power generation and tourism, for mutual cooperation. Tourists visiting Pinjore usually are on their way to Shimla and in this way both states were earning income. He said he would meet Himachal Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal for advocating the cases regarding the welfare of the people of the state.

Hooda said there was complete tranquility and peace in Haryana and nobody would be allowed to disturb the peace and harmony. He was referring to the law and order situation in the state following the incident in Mumbai involving Dera Sacha Sauda head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh.

While referring to his relations with Shimla city, he said he had great love and affection for the town as he had visited Shimla several times during his childhood.
