Huda unveils big plans Sonepat, February 24 The Haryana
Financial Commissioner, Mr Bhaskar Chatterjee, stated this while reviewing the on-going development works in the district at a specially-convened meeting of the district officials on the premises of a tourist complex near Rai village about 13 km from here yesterday. He also disclosed that the state government would establish community health centres, educational institutions and provide basic facilities to the people living in Sectors 12, 15 and 23 in and around the city. Reviewing the progress about the medical facilities, Mr Chatterjee directed the civil surgeon to take immediate steps to provide medicines and other modern equipment to the health institutes in the villages so that the rural people could take advantage of the facilities. Regarding the educational facilities, Mr Chatterjee asked the District Education Officer to implement the new educational policy of the state government in rural schools and take steps to provide computer education to the students studying in rural schools of the district. The Superintending Engineer of the Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN) told the meeting that the UHBVN has so far installed as many as 40,000 new electronic meters on the premises of the consumers and 15,000 more such meters would be installed shortly. This, he claimed, had checked the theft of electricity and improved the power supply position. Reviewing the progress about the implementation of food-for-work programme in the district, it was revealed in the meeting that the scheme had been started in 316 villages of the district and a sum of Rs 1.78 crore received by the district administration for the completion of the works under the scheme. The district administration has received 3,992 tonnes of wheat for distribution among the labourers. So far 2.14 lakh
man days have been generated under the programme by spending half the amount received from the Government. It was also revealed in the meeting that the work for digging the village ponds has been speeded up in the district. As many as 34 waterworks have been cleaned for providing potable water to the people living in the rural areas. Besides, the village roads are repaired by the authorities. Reviewing the functioning of Huda, Mr Chatterjee directed the Estate Officer, Mr Sultan Singh, to take steps for identifying the defaulters and recover the amount outstanding against them. The Estate Officer told the meeting that there were 8,199 plot holders and notices have been issued to 865 defaulters for the recovery of the amount. The Huda authorities, he said, have so far recovered Rs 23.37 crore from the defaulters by February 21. Mr Chatterjee directed the authorities to repair the road from Ganaur town to the G.T. Road which was in a bad condition. The Superintending Engineer of the Public Health Department told the meeting that the job for the waterworks in Sector 23 had been completed and it would be commissioned soon. The residents of this sector were being supplied with water through two waterworks of Huda at present. Earlier, the Financial Commissioner visited a number of villages to inspect the development works. At Aterna and Nangal villages, Mr Chatterjee witnessed the condition of the buildings of the government schools and sought information on the computer education in them. He also inspected the community health centre at Bad Khalsa village and got details of the medical facilities being provided to the residents of the village. He reportedly took serious note of the unsatisfactory working of the community health centre and warned that stern action would be taken against the medical officers and the para-medical staff if the conditions were not improved. |

People have accepted INLD: Chautala Panchkula, February 24 This was stated by the Chief Minister, Mr Om Prakash
Chautala, here today. He was here in order to get the blessings of Jain Muni Roop Chand Rajat. Talking to mediapersons, Mr Chautala said that the people of the state had accepted that only the INLD could give a clean government that would work for the development of the masses. He said that the result of the Yamunanagar byelection had shattered the myth of it being a traditionally BJP seat. In response to a question on the separation with the BJP in the state, Mr Chautala said that the state leaders would have now learnt the lesson. He said the BJP leaders had wanted to fight it out all alone and as a result its candidate had secured the
fourth place. Talking about the INLD’s performance in Uttar Pradesh, he said that the party’s aim was to help the National Democratic Alliance in the elections. He, however, said that the present assembly elections were not a referendum on the NDA government. Mr Chautala held the electronic media responsible for confusing the voters with their “biased” exit poll. Talking about Punjab, Mr Chautala said that the exit poll tilted the voters’ choice against the SAD-BJP alliance. He reiterated that the SYL canal would be constructed on priority basis,
irrespective of the fact that which party formed the next government in Punjab. |

for BJP: Ajay Chautala Sirsa, February 24 He said the result of Yamunanagar byelection had proved that people had rejected the Congress and the BJP. The candidate who lost his deposits should work as an eye-opener for the BJP. Replying to a question regarding the unexpected performance of the Haryana Vikas Party
(HVP), Mr Chautala said this was a personal impact of the candidate who could have scored better had he contested as a candidate of any other party. |
