The Haryana government has granted its approval for the acquisition of 349 acres of land from three neighboring villages—Asan Kalan, Khandra, and Bal Jattan—to facilitate the expansion of the Panipat Refinery owned by the Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL). This decision was reached during a meeting led by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, as stated by an official press release.

The official statement outlined that the land distribution would involve the acquisition of 140 acres from Asan Kalan village, 57 acres from Khandra village, and 152 acres from Bal Jattan village.
