With zero tolerance, corruption has been considerably reduced in Haryana

CHANDIGARH, DEC 26

The Chief Minister, Mr Manohar Lal, has said that by following the resolution of the Prime Minister, Mr Narendra Modi, on zero tolerance, corruption has been considerably reduced in Haryana during the tenure of the present state government. 

          Referring to a survey published in a magazine, he said earlier the corruption level was 51 per cent in Haryana which had now decreased to 20 per cent. Efforts would be made to eliminate this 20 per cent also for which a ‘carrot and stick’ policy would be adopted.
        The Chief Minister was speaking after inaugurating the newly constructed PWD Rest House in Gurugram today. He also laid foundation stone of office building of the Excise and Taxation Department which would be set up over 1.5 acres at a cost of about Rs 20 crore for first phase in Sector 32.

         He said this rest house, having capacity of 100 rooms, was estimated to  cost about Rs 40.80 crore, but its construction had been completed at the cost of just Rs 35 crore. Now, the scenario has changed in Haryana as maximum number of development works are being completed at less than expected expenditure.

       The Chief Minister said recently the mini-secretariat building in Panchkula was completed at the cost of Rs 26 crore instead of the estimated cost of Rs 41 crore. Similarly, Rs 9 crore was saved in the construction of a bus-stand at Jhajjar. The funds saved on these development works would be utilised in other works, he added.
        Describing Gurugram as the icon of the state, Mr Manohar Lal  said after Delhi, Gurugram was the most popular place. The present government has also got completed the works left pending by the previous governments.

        Referring to the demands put forth by the Public Works (Buildings and Roads) Minister, Rao Narbir Singh, the Chief Minister said land had been transferred to the National Highway Authority of India for the Kherki Daula toll plaza, and soon the process would be initiated to transfer the toll plaza.

        He said construction work on university in the village of Kankrola-Bhangrola would begin. Apart from this, he announced setting up of a multi-level parking at Sadar Bazar in Gurugram. 

        On the demand of Rao Narbir Singh for establishing a multi- speciality civil hospital, Mr. Manohar Lal gave the assurance that health services would be improved and said he would speak to the Health Minister, Mr. Anil Vij, on this issue.  

     Giving an assurance on extending the metro facility, he said it would be extended up to Manesar, Bawal and Gurugram Old City. Apart from this, the project to connect Gurugram with Faridabad is under consideration. A global city would be established over 1,000 acres in Gurugram with world class facilities, he added.
        While laying the foundation stone of office building of the Excise and Taxation Department, the Chief Minister said Gurugram, contributing about 25 per cent to the state revenue, was the financial capital of the state. After implementation of GST, about 35,000 traders and businessmen in Gurugram have got themselves registered. So far, the office of Excise and Taxation Department was running from a rented premises costing about Rs 3 crore annually.
        Speaking on the occasion, Rao Narbir Singh said the rest house inaugurated today should have been established 20-25 years ago. Gurugram remained neglected during the tenure of previous state Governments. 

He apprised the Chief Minister of the worst condition of the civil hospital and said it would benefit none if funds are spent on it. Instead, a new civil hospital could be established on land adjoining government school and the school could be shifted elsewhere, he suggested.

CM congratulates Modi and Shah on BJP's win in Gujarat and HP

CHANDIGARH, DEC 18
The Haryana Chief Minister, Mr. Manohar Lal Khattar, has congratulated the Prime Minister, Mr Narendra Modi, the party chief, Mr Amit Shah, and every one for the historical victory of the BJP in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat elections, and hailed it as a victory of the people.
      Interacting with media persons here today, he said since 2012, BJP had been continuously winning the mandate of the people in the country and now the party is ruling in 19 states. In 2014, the BJP formed government in Haryana with full mandate. Since then, it has been running successfully under the guidance of the Prime Minister and Mr Amit Shah. 
       The increasing mandate of BJP is taking the country closer to the Prime Minister’s vision of Congress-free India, and the BJP would soon form government in those states also where the Congress is in power.
         “I see this victory as sign of a big change in the country. Since Independence, people have not experienced freedom. Rulers kept changing but independence does not mean changing rulers. Real freedom lies in having a transparent and graft-free system of governance in true spirit of Antyodaya”, he said.
          The BJP had worked with an eye on the poor, farmers, labour and people belonging to the weaker sections of society. The Congress Government never paid any attention to them.
           The Chief Minister said during the last three years, the BJP had undertaken various works on the call of the Prime Minister. BJP governments in various states have taken further the programmes launched by the Prime Minister in their own ways. The Haryana Government has also made some changes in the system in public interest and deliberations have been made on developing a new Haryana. Some targets have been fixed and the people would soon witness the results, he added.
          The victory of BJP in both states has made it clear that people voted for the welfare policies implemented by the Central Government led by Mr Narendra Modi. Victory is victory. Though the party had got fewer seats in Gujarat, but vote percentage has increased, he added.
           The Chief Minister said, “On the call of the Prime Minister, discussion is being held on how to avoid elections every now and then. A new system should be developed under which all elections are held simultaneously. If such a call is made elections in most of states would be held along with the Lok Sabha and we are ready. We do not have any such agenda to hold elections along with the Lok Sabha polls, or when these are due. This entirely depends on the decision of the Centre”, he added.

         Asked about the campaign launched by the INLD on toll tax, the minister said when in opposition, INLD leaders mislead people by giving irresponsible statements on providing 24-hour power supply and free electricity. They should indulge in responsible politics. If they feel that law is being violated in case of toll or any other issue, they could get it resolved legally. The people of the state have come to understand the politics of INLD very well and have dismissed the party, he added.
          Capt Abhimanyu said the Chief Minister had already ended toll on about 30 roads in the state. The work on laying the web of road network in the country, initiated by the former Prime Minister, Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, is being carried forward rapidly.
          Earlier while redressing the grievances of people, the minister directed the District Revenue Officer, Mr. Rajender Singh, to suspend such patwaris as caused unnecessary delay in works like registration of mutation (intkal) in the district. Taking a tough stand against officers and employees causing unnecessary delay in the execution of works, he said that negligence in work generated fear of corruption which would not be tolerated at any cost. As many as 58 complaints were taken up and Capt Abhimanyu directed the officers concerned to redress them at the earliest.
          Later, the Minister held a meeting with district officers and sought information about the projects which were lying pending at the headquarters in Chandigarh.

Khallar hails media; asks it to frame its own code of conduct

CHANDIGARH, DEC 10
Hailing media as the fourth and an important pillar of democracy, the Haryana Chief Minister, Mr Manohar Lal Khattar, has said that as the government could not interfere in   their right to free expression enshrined in our Constitution, the media should frame its own code of conduct to ensure that whatever media persons wrote or telecast, is in the interest of the society and the nation.
         Mr Manohar Lal was speaking as Chief Guest at the concluding session of the two-day national meet of the Confederation of Newspaper and News Agency Employees Organizations, here today.
         The contribution of media to the society could not be ignored in the present-day world but maintaining credibility is a major challenge before the media. If they are able to maintain credibility, they would certainly be successful in their mission or profession, he said.
           Exhorting the media persons to take media as a mission, he said in the pre-Independence days, leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Lokmanya Tilak had taken media as a mission, and not as a profession, with the aim to get the country freed from the clutches of Britishers.
    As far as challenges are concerned, media and politicians are facing almost same challenges. While narrating an incident, the Chief Minister said when Mr Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister of the country he was asked by the media about his biggest challenge. Mr Modi replied that maintaining good image of his fraternity was his biggest challenge.
           Similarly, to achieve success in the profession, media persons should maintain its image and credibility. Today, professionals like advocates, doctors and media persons need to work with missionary zeal by sticking to ethics for betterment of the society.
      Now-a-days, media has grown manifold and so has the competition among them. The aim of the media should be to work to eliminate social evils from the society, enlighten the people on several issues and refrain from giving news which is not based on facts, he said. 
    Referring to the social media, the Chief Minister said the world had become a village and this form of media was emerging as the fastest way of disseminating news from one part of the world to another as compared to electronics and print media. But authenticity of the news should be verified before circulating it on the social media. He urged media persons to separate news from views as this could present someone in bad light before the readers.
          Mr Manohar Lal said the state government had implemented the pension scheme for media persons in the state and the other announcements made by him would also be implemented soon. Media rooms have been set up in five districts and the process to set up such rooms in the remaining districts is in progress. Haryana is a media-friendly state and everything possible would be done for the welfare of media persons, he added.
          Those present included Director, Information, Public Relations and Languages Department, Mr Sameer Pal Srow, Media Advisor to the Chief Minister, Mr Amit Arya, and a large number of media persons.-balbirsingh227@gmail.com
