Ensuring road connectivity in remote areas is the responsibility of the State Government - CM
Basic amenities must be provided even if there is only one household
Relocate all stray cattle to gaushalas within two months
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh-
Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini said that keeping in view the increasing population, the need for fire stations should be assessed across Haryana so that the establishment of new fire stations can be ensured as per the requirement. The Chief Minister was chairing a meeting to review the progress of the Chief Minister’s announcements here today.
During the meeting, the Chief Minister said that it is the state government’s primary responsibility to ensure the availability of essential services such as roads, electricity and water for residents in hilly regions like Morni. He asserted that even if there is only one household in a remote area, the concerned departments must take appropriate action to provide basic amenities, ensuring that no resident faces any inconvenience.
During the meeting, Saini directed that a special campaign be launched to make the state free of stray cattle. He instructed the Animal Husbandry and Dairy Department to work in mission mode, in coordination with the Urban Local Bodies Department and the Gau Seva Commission, to ensure that all stray cattle are removed from roads and public places and safely relocated to gaushalas within two months.
While reviewing the announcements related to the Animal Husbandry and Dairy Department, the Chief Minister said that Nandi Shalas have already been established in the districts of Panchkula, Panipat and Hisar. He said that efforts should be made in this direction so that Nandishala be set up in remaining districts as well. The department was also directed to explore the possibility of setting up Nandishalas through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Furthermore, a veterinary clinic should be established at each existing Nandishala, with arrangements to ensure the availability of a visiting Veterinary Surgeon.
Officers should ensure quality in development works
While reviewing the announcements of the Irrigation and Water Resources Department, Chief Minister directed that development works should be completed promptly and with high quality, ensuring that the benefits directly reach the public. He further instructed that a survey be initiated to channel water from the Yamuna River in the Kalesar area to Panchkula and other regions. This water can then be utilized for agriculture and other purposes, thereby giving concrete shape to the 'River Linking Campaign' envisioned by Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi.
Provide necessary guidance while encouraging farmers for Horticulture
While reviewing the announcements of the Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Department, Saini directed officials to regularly update the database of all subsidy-related schemes to ensure that farmers receive benefits in a transparent manner. He also suggested that the department formulate a special plan for the development of high-quality seeds through agricultural scientists, enabling farmers to achieve better yields. In addition, he said that the Horticulture Department should proactively engage with Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) and provide necessary technical guidance to farmers while promoting horticulture under this year’s action plan.
Get all pending announcements completed soon
During the meeting, Chief Minister reviewed all department-wise CM announcements made since 2014 and directed the concerned officers to ensure the timely completion of all pending announcements.
