Uttar Pradesh has been picked as the most friendly state for film shooting at the 52nd International Film Festival of India held in Goa.
In a statement issued here on Sunday, the state government said Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur and Goa's Chief Minister Pramod Sawant handed over the award to Uttar Pradesh on the conclusion of the festival.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
