Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Thursday said that in the meeting of the High Power Purchase Committee, approval was given to purchase goods worth Rs 1,000 crore.
Khattar said that in the meeting of the High Power Purchase Committee, a decision was taken regarding the printing of children's books from Class I to VIII. Apart from this, the process of installing jammers in jails, purchase of chairs, tables and cupboards in play-way schools, purchase of transformers and cables for the electricity department was completed. To further strengthen the security apparatus of the Police Department, it was decided to purchase 220 new vehicles. Along with this, the procurement process related to water flow meters on tubewells located in villages under Atal Bhujal Yojana was also completed. With this it will be easy to know how much water is being supplied to the villages.
Responding to a question, Khattar said that his tour across the state had stopped due to Covid. Now the preparation of the budget is going on. After the completion of the budget session, he will resume his touring in the state.
Meanwhile, Khattar described the unemployment figures presented by a private organization CMI as a farce. He said that the CMI had shown 36 per cent unemployment in Haryana during the month of December, whereas in January this figure was shown to have come down to 26 per cent. That is, they claim that the Government has given employment to 25 lakh people in a month. There is no scale for the figures of this institution, fake figures are being presented. He said that in Haryana, actual data is being collected through Parivar Pehchan Patra. The State Government is giving continuous employment through HSSC, HPSC, Kaushal Rojgar Nigam, he said.
