The 19th day of the Jan Samvad Programme started by Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal aimed to address the concerns of the citizens directly at the grassroots level today in Umri village of Kurukshetra district. Upon arrival in Umri village, the Chief Minister first offered prayers at the ancient Shiva temple. During this visit, Sh. Manohar Lal also distributed wheelchairs and hearing aids provided by the Red Cross to four people.
During the Samvad, while swiftly responding to the demand raised regarding the stoppage of long-route buses at Umri Chowk, the Chief Minister directed the General Manager, Haryana Roadways, to maintain a dedicated register at Umri Chowk so that commuters who commute daily can enter their journey details and accordingly arrangements to facilitate stops for long-route buses can be made.
The Chief Minister, while underscoring his government’s resolute stance against corruption, said that from day one only, his government has adopted zero tolerance against corruption. He also emphasised the state government’s commitment to preserving the rights of the disadvantaged. He shared that over 13 lakh complaints registered through the CM window have all been expeditiously resolved. Regarding the Common Eligibility Test (CET) for government jobs conducted by the Haryana Staff Selection Commission, the Chief Minister clarified that the responsibility for setting the exam questions lies with the paper-setting agency, not the government. He informed me that government jobs have been secured by 1.10 lakh individuals thus far, and plans are in place for an additional 30,000 Group C recruitments within the next three months.
The Chief Minister, while stressing the significance of the Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP), said that this single document serves as a gateway to various benefits and schemes. He further said that each village, including Umri, receives grants for development based on its population. He clarified that this grant is distinct from funds provided by the Central Government.
Manohar Lal assured the citizens that the government’s paramount goal is to simplify their lives and ensure the effective delivery of scheme benefits. Gifting developmental projects to the residents of Umri village, the Chief Minister said that a community building will be built on 2 acres in the village of Umri. Besides this, he also announced the renovation of a dilapidated building of a government school and gave approval of a budget for vyayamshala and the paving of 2.5 acres of village Phirni.
