This is how HRDA got the responsibility

One Ekta Mall is to be opened in every state of the country. For Uttarakhand, a place was first searched in Dehradun. Due to a lack of space, Udham Singh Nagar was selected for the project, but considering the number of tourists and devotees coming from other states, Haridwar was selected instead of Udham Singh Nagar. Therefore, the responsibility for the construction of Ekta Mall was handed over to HRDA. HRDA Vice President Anshul Singh said that Ekta Mall will give a better experience to the tourists and devotees coming from outside their journey.
