Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday said that eligible beneficiaries, who have been deprived so far, will soon receive plots from the state government. To avail of these plots, eligible beneficiaries must apply through the upcoming portal, which the State Government will launch shortly.
The new portal aimed at streamlining the application process, ensuring that all eligible individuals can easily apply and receive their plots, said the Chief Minister, during the felicitation ceremony organized under the auspices of the Valmiki Sabha and Maharishi Valmiki Ashram Society.
Earlier, the Chief Minister, along with MP Naveen Jindal, Haryana Minister of State for Urban Local Bodies Subhash Sudha, and former minister Krishna Bedi, laid the foundation stone for Valmiki Dharamshala. Following this event, the Chief Minister participated in prayers at the Maharishi Valmiki temple and paid his respects to Lord Maharishi Valmiki.
In his address, Saini took a dig at the opposition, accusing previous governments of undermining the country’s culture and traditions over six decades. In contrast, he praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for initiatives such as the Kartarpur corridor to Pakistan, the redevelopment of Kedarnath and Ujjain shrines, the restoration of the Somnath temple, the construction of Shri Hemkund Sahib, and the completion of the Shri Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, all aimed at preserving India's cultural heritage.
He highlighted PM Modi's commitment to realizing the dreams of Lord Maharishi Valmiki and naming the Ayodhya airport after him, as well as the historic removal of Article 370, fulfilling a vision held by Bharat Ratna Baba Saheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar.
Regarding achievements in Haryana, the Chief Minister cited significant projects including the rail elevated track in Kurukshetra, the Ismailabad-Jaipur expressway, and the establishment of the country's first Sri Krishna Ayush University in Fatupur village. He also mentioned the recent allocation of a substantial budget for the university's development. Additionally, he listed infrastructure developments like the Kendriya Vidyalaya in Mathana, railway underpasses and overbridges, and the expansion of highways from Shahabad to Saha and Ismailabad to Shahabad. The government's efforts to provide government jobs without kharchi-parchi and pension benefits to 232,000 elderly citizens were also emphasized.
During the event, MP Naveen Jindal expressed his longstanding relationship with the Valmiki community spanning over three decades, attributing their support to his parliamentary success. Minister of State for Urban Local Bodies Subhash Sudha said that he has been associated with the people of the Valmiki community for years. Therefore, he is fully aware of each and every problem and demand of this community. Every possible help is given to this community from time to time, he added.
