Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Thursday said that today Haryana has become a leading state in the country in terms of development. The infrastructure has become strong in the state, as a result of which Haryana has become the most preferred state for investors.

He said that roads are necessary for development and if the infrastructure is strong then the economic condition of the state and the country will be better. Therefore, due to infrastructure, all the pending works will be completed till the year 2024. The Chief Minister reached Pinjore, where he conducted a surprise inspection of the construction works of Pinjore bypass. He inquired from the officials about the reasons for the delay in the construction works and directed them to complete the upcoming processes and remaining works at the earliest.

While interacting with media persons on the occasion, the Chief Minister said that work on railway line and National Highway crossing in the Pinjore bypass project was stalled for some time due to technical reasons, the same has been inspected today. A meeting in this regard will be held soon and these works will be completed expeditiously. He said that this bypass will join Baddi Road, which will facilitate movement of people from Haryana as well as other provinces. Responding to a query regarding Pinjore-Nalagarh four lane highway, the Chief Minister said that the work was stalled due to some reasons. The works will be started soon after assessing the situation. He said that Haryana is in a better position today in terms of roads. Whenever any project is requested by Haryana from National Highway Authority of India, it is always completed.

Khattar said that our government has made many welfare schemes and facilities online. Haryana government implemented Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP). There is no such system anywhere in the country or the world. UIDAI, which is making Aadhaar, is also now meeting with the team of Haryana's PPP. Along with this, Uttar Pradesh has also announced to make PPP.  PPP reflects the capability of the family and the government can work with the spirit of Antyodaya keeping the income group in mind. The Chief Minister said that earlier under the Direct Benefit Scheme (DBT), the amount was given through cheque but now money is sent through RTGS. Taking the system online led to the identification of wrongful beneficiaries. With this, the government has saved Rs. 1,200 crore.

The Chief Minister said that now the government land records will be digitised. Today the situation is such that most of the cases are going on in the court related to land. Cases of land fraud come to the fore. Land records will be digitized, be it building, farming or other land. By doing this everyone will get benefitted. Due to digital preparation of land records, disturbances will also be stopped.
