The Chief Minister was addressing mediapersons after his meeting with the Prime Minister at Haryana Bhawan, New Delhi.
Saini said that the Prime Minister emphasised the need to speed up development initiatives to make life easier for the citizens. In line with this goal, the Chief Minister had previously met with Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs, Manohar Lal Khattar, and Union Minister of Road, Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, where several projects received approval.
The Chief Minister affirmed his commitment to advancing Haryana’s development, promising efforts to elevate the state to new heights in growth and progress. Under these projects, plans for expanding the Metro rail and the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) in Gurugram, along with extending the RRTS project from Sarai Kale Khan to Panipat, further up to Karnal. Similarly, with the aim to reduce traffic jams and make commuting easy for people, a network of roads is being constructed across Haryana.
Responding to a question about the representation of women in the Haryana Assembly, the Chief Minister said that PM Narendra Modi launched the ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ campaign from Panipat, Haryana.
Over the past decade, the Central Government has focussed on empowering women. Recently, the Union Government passed the ‘Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam’ to strengthen women’s role in governance. The Chief Minister said this Bill would certainly enable more women to serve in Legislative Assemblies.
He said that the ‘Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam’ was a gift from the Prime Minister to empower women, enabling them to explore new frontiers. Further, he
highlighted initiatives like ‘Drone Didi’ and the empowerment of women’s self-help groups as part of the double-engine government’s commitment to skill and support women across India.
On paddy procurement, CM Saini said he had directed officers to ensure the procurement of every grain of paddy with moisture content up to 17 per cent and if any complaint was received in this regard, strict action would be taken against them.
