Haryana Group Calls for Separate Capital and High Court
A group called Haryana Banao Abhiyan wants Haryana to have its own capital city and a separate high court.
Currently, Haryana shares a capital, Chandigarh, and a high court with Punjab.
This group says it causes delays in legal cases and hinders Haryana's growth.
They met with the Assembly Speaker to ask for support.
They believe that a separate capital will help develop the state and give Haryana its own unique identity.
They point out the long distances and high costs people face to access services in Chandigarh.
The 'Haryana Banao Abhiyan' is advocating for a separate capital and high court for Haryana.
A delegation met with Assembly Speaker Harvinder Kalyan to push their demands.

Over 4.5 lakh cases are pending before the Punjab & Haryana High Court.
