Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said the central and state governments are true well-wishers of farmers. This is proven by the fact that all crops of farmers in Haryana are being purchased on MSP and in the last 10 and a half years, the government has given Rs 14500 crore to farmers for crop loss, whereas before 2014, during the Congress government, only Rs 1155 crore were given to farmers as crop loss compensation.
The previous Congress government in Punjab and now the current Aam Aadmi Party government have never taken care of the farmers nor have they purchased the crops of farmers on MSP. When a BJP government is formed in Punjab in 2027, all crops of farmers will be purchased on MSP on the lines of Haryana.
The Chief Minister said this during a programme organized in Dera Bassi, Punjab where he was invited as the chief guest today.
Former Union Minister Preneet Kaur, Rajya Sabha member Sh. Satnam Sandhu, Sh. Gurdarshan Singh Saini, former Speaker of Haryana Assembly Sh. Gian Chand Gupta, Sh. Sanjeev Vashisht and other dignitaries were present on the occasion.
The Chief Minister said under the table leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, India has emerged as a strong and powerful country in the world today. In Haryana too, the government has considered honesty, transparency and service as its basic mantra. The politics of casteism, appeasement and dynasty was ended due to which the people of the state formed the BJP government for the third time. Today, a responsible and sensitive non-stop government is working in Haryana.
He said as soon as the third term of the BJP government started in Haryana, 26,000 youth were given government jobs without ‘parchi-kharchi’.
He said Haryana is among the leading states of the country in national highways, industry, digital services, skill development for youth, women safety and welfare of farmers.
He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced that elderly people above 70 years of age will get free treatment under the Ayushman Yojana. The Haryana Government has given the benefit of this scheme to the elderly of the state.
He said by linking public service with technology, more than 52 lakh families in Haryana are being given direct benefit of more than 400 schemes and services at home through the Parivar Pehchan Patra. This is a unique initiative in itself. Similarly, the Haryana Government has given respect to the elderly by increasing the social security pension to Rs 3000. On the formation of BJP government in Punjab, people will be given the benefit of public welfare schemes on the lines of Haryana.
He said under the ‘Mhara Gaon-Jagmag Gaon’ scheme in Haryana, 5878 villages are also being given 24-hour electricity on the lines of cities. If BJP government is formed in Punjab, 24 hours electricity will be provided to people. On reaching the function, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini was given a warm welcome and honoured with a memento.
Freeing Gurugram from waterlogging not just a goal, but our collective responsibility: Rao Narbir Singh
FIR will be registered against industrial units not maintaining STPs: Rao Narbir Singh
Haryana’s Industry and Commerce Minister Rao Narbir Singh said freeing Gurugram from waterlogging is not just a goal but our collective responsibility. He said the accountability of the concerned officer should be fixed at each of the critical points of waterlogging that have been identified by the Municipal Corporation and GMDA.
Rao Narbir was chairing a review meeting with the Municipal Corporation and GMDA officials in Gurugram today. In the meeting, other measures to assess the progress made so far to deal with the problem of waterlogging during monsoon and to address the challenges were also discussed.
He directed the officials to prioritize the measures required for drainage of water and find permanent solutions to reach the root of the problem. He said the officials of the corporation and authority should ensure that the measures being taken to deal with waterlogging and its progress report are regularly sent to his office. Both the departments should work together for the places where there is drain inlet mismatch.
He directed the concerned officials to ensure cleaning of small sewerage network on the lines of drainage system. Rao Narbir Singh summoned the report of the current status of the functioning of 41 micro STP plants located in the Municipal Corporation area and directed the officials of the Regional Pollution Control Board to get all the STPs inspected in the next 15 days. Along with this, move forward towards getting FIR registered against those industrial units where STP is not being maintained. He told the corporation officials to get all the non-functional boosters in the corporation area started within the stipulated time.
In the meeting, GMDA officials apprised the minister about the progress of waterlogging measures and said desilting work is going on in 12 km area of storm water drain, which will be completed before June 30. New cleaning work has also been awarded in Leg 2. Similarly, in the cleaning of sewerage system, 85 km network has been cleaned so far and work is going on on 11 km which will be completed in the stipulated period.
Officials said the tender process is going on for cleaning 404 rain water harvesting systems located in the district, in which all rain water harvesting systems will be cleaned by June 10 under the prescribed procedure. Similarly, 74 percent cleaning work has been completed in the 4500 meter network of Master Train from Sector 72A to National Highway 48. Giving information about the efforts being made for the cleaning of the pedestrian crossing located on the National Highway, Corporation Commissioner Ashok Garg said these are being cleaned by the corporation. In future, an estimate will also be prepared for their maintenance and cleaning. There are currently 41 micro STPs in the corporation area, out of which 28 are functioning smoothly.
