User:Sourish Paul Shyamnagar India, don't make unilateral changes to sections like "Districts" and thereby create red links. Start a thread on Talk:Haryana with a proposal, keeping in mind that Wikivoyage:The traveller comes first means that we do not automatically use official regional structures in our guides. Also -"Stay safe" text that does not advise readers on potential dangers.
