*Transform State Mandis into Models of Excellence with Farmer Service as Top Priority - CM Nayab Singh Saini*

*Create a modern, transparent and farmer-friendly mandi system*

*Rs 1.64 Lakh Crore deposited into accounts of 12 Lakh Farmers for Crop Procurement*

Chandigarh, December 15 – Haryana Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini said that the state’s mandis must be transformed into models of excellence by placing farmer service at the highest priority, so that they can be emulated across the country. He emphasized the need for complete honesty and transparency in the collection of market fees and for strengthening trust among farmers. The objective, he said, is to develop Haryana’s mandis into the most modern, transparent and farmer-friendly market system in India.

The Chief Minister was presiding over a meeting with the newly appointed office-bearers of the Marketing Board here today. The meeting was attended by the chairmen and vice-chairmen of market committees, State President Sh Mohan Lal Badoli, General Secretary (Organisation) Sh Phanindra Nath Sharma, State General Secretary Sh Surender Punia, Dr. Archana Gupta, Chief Minister’s OSD Sh B.B. Bharti and several senior officials.

The Chief Minister said that the foundation of the Marketing Board’s functioning lies in ensuring the prosperity of farmers and strengthening the state’s economy. He said that the mandi system is the most effective mechanism for ensuring fair prices and safeguarding farmers’ hard-earned income. When farmers are empowered, he added, Haryana becomes stronger.

He further remarked that market committees are not merely government offices, but vital power centers of the rural economy. Therefore, their efficient management is of utmost importance. At the same time, it is essential to strengthen trust and reliability between farmers and traders. He said that the aim is to create a system in the mandis where farmers receive accurate measurements, fair prices, and timely payments as soon as they bring their produce, and traders get quality products and a better environment for doing business.

Sh Nayab Singh Saini appreciated the commendable progress made by market committees in adopting digital reforms over the past few years. He noted the successful implementation of e-procurement and Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), which ensures that payments for farmers’ crops are credited directly to their bank accounts on time. By eliminating the role of middlemen, farmers are now receiving the full value of their hard work.

The Chief Minister emphasized that every process—from issuing gate passes to the collection of market fees—must be made fully digital to enhance transparency and eliminate corruption. Greater use of technology, he said, is essential for strengthening the system.

He informed that all 24 crops are being procured from farmers at the Minimum Support Price (MSP). So far, Rs 1.64 lakh crore has been deposited into the accounts of nearly 12 lakh farmers for crop procurement. From the Kharif season of 2024, farmers have been receiving payment within 48 hours of the issuance of the gate pass through DBT. He also said that work is being accelerated to improve basic facilities such as sheds, drinking water, toilets, and rest houses in mandis across the state.

The Chief Minister stated that providing cold storage facilities near farm gates for fruit and vegetable growers is a top priority of the government. He directed market committee officials to prioritize proposals for establishing cold storage units under the PPP model in their respective areas. He also stressed the need to improve road connectivity and carry out timely repairs of roads leading to mandis so that farmers can bring their produce without difficulty.

He said that the working style and conduct of market committee employees reflect the true image of the mandi system. Therefore, employees must remain sensitive to farmers’ needs. Proper training should be provided on the latest government policies, use of e-portals, and courteous communication with farmers.

The Chief Minister proposed launching a new initiative titled “Harit Mandi, Khushaal Farmer.” Under this initiative, separate and strengthened sections for fruits and vegetables should be developed alongside traditional crop markets. He also called for the establishment of farmer assistance centers in every mandi, where grievances are registered immediately and resolved promptly, ensuring that farmers do not have to make repeated visits to offices.

He further directed market committees to adopt solar energy to meet their electricity requirements, which would reduce power costs and contribute to environmental conservation. He also emphasized promoting green energy and making rainwater harvesting structures mandatory in mandis to prevent water wastage.

The Chief Minister said that farmers practicing natural farming should be given special space and priority in mandis to sell their produce, as this form of farming represents the future and should be actively encouraged. He also stressed the need to ensure safe and dedicated spaces for women farmers and women traders, and to promote greater participation of women in the economic system.

He said that maintaining cleanliness in the mandis is a collective responsibility. Regular cleanliness drives should be conducted, and strict action must be taken against those who litter. A clean market is beneficial for both business and public health, he added.

*Haryana Streamlines Fire Safety Certification with Tech-Driven Policy, Strengthens Public Safety*

Chandigarh,December 15 - Haryana has taken a major step towards strengthening public safety and improving ease of governance with the notification of comprehensive new guidelines for the issuance and renewal of Fire Safety Certificates (FSC). The policy, framed under the Haryana Fire and Emergency Services Act, 2022, introduces a technology-driven, transparent, and time-bound mechanism, setting a new benchmark in fire safety administration and was formally notified on December 9, 2025.

Financial Commissioner and Additional Chief Secretary, Revenue and Disaster Management, Dr. Sumita Misra said the new system aims to ensure faster service delivery without compromising on safety standards. The policy introduces an Empanelled Agency system along with an automated online approval process, significantly reducing procedural delays.

*Automatic Online Approval with Built-In Oversight*

Under the revised procedure, Fire Safety Certificates—both for new applications and renewals—will be issued automatically through an online portal once the application is supported by a certification report from an Empanelled Agency. This reform is expected to substantially cut down inspection-related bottlenecks and enhance predictability for applicants.

To ensure transparency and impartiality, the Empanelled Agency assigned for inspection will be selected randomly by the online system for the concerned division. At the same time, the policy retains strong government oversight. A mandatory physical verification of 25 per cent cases by a Fire Officer and 10 per cent cases by the Joint Director (Technical) will be carried out on a random basis within 30 days of certificate issuance.

*Higher Standards for Fire Safety Audits*

The policy places strong emphasis on professional competence. Empanelled Agencies must meet stringent eligibility criteria, including the requirement that the lead member possesses a Bachelor of Engineering (Fire) or equivalent qualification, along with a minimum of four years’ experience in fire protection systems or service in a government fire department.

These agencies will conduct comprehensive fire safety audits, including assessment of fire hazards, electrical safety, verification of active systems such as sprinklers and hydrants, evaluation of passive fire protection measures, and review of staff training and emergency preparedness.

By delegating detailed technical audits to qualified professionals, the government aims to ensure strict compliance with the Haryana Fire and Emergency Services Act, 2022 and the National Building Code of India, 2016, thereby enhancing safety standards across public and private buildings.

The new policy is scheduled to be fully implemented by March 31, 2026, marking a significant reform in Haryana’s fire safety regulatory framework.

*Every complaint on CM Window is a symbol of public trust, treat it as a living document and provide honest solutions - Chief Minister*

*Intellectuals should fulfill their important responsibility with transparency and sensitivity*

Chandigarh, Dec 15 – Haryana Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini said that every complaint registered on the CM Window is not merely a formal entry, but a living symbol of the public’s trust. He said that it is the responsibility of the concerned intellectuals to address these complaints with complete honesty, integrity and transparency, and to play an active role in their resolution. Since these officials are directly connected to the Chief Minister through this platform, their accountability to the public increases manifold.

The Chief Minister was interacting with intellectuals associated with the CM Window from all districts of the state at his residence, Sant Kabir Kutir, here on Monday.

He said that collective efforts are required to make the CM Window a strong and reliable system, one that every citizen can take pride in and trust, with the assurance that their grievances will be resolved in a timely and effective manner. Sustaining this trust, he added, will ensure that the administrative machinery functions with greater dedication, sensitivity and efficiency.

Sh Nayab Singh Saini informed that the CM Window portal was launched on December 25, 2014, with the objective of providing prompt solutions to the problems faced by common citizens. So far, a total of 14,82,924 complaints have been received on the portal, out of which 14,12,136 complaints have been resolved. This, he said, reflects the government’s firm commitment to prioritizing public grievance redressal.

He further remarked that when a citizen registers a complaint on the CM Window, it is not merely an issue being reported, but an expression of trust in the Chief Minister and the government. Therefore, it is imperative that this robust platform remains transparent, responsive and sensitive, so that public confidence continues to grow stronger.

The Chief Minister also shared that to ensure effective disposal of complaints at the district level, samadhan shivirs are being organized every Monday and Thursday under the chairmanship of the Deputy Commissioner. To date, 1,47,299 complaints have been received through these camps across the state, of which 1,19,597 have already been resolved, while work is progressing rapidly on the remaining cases. He urged the officials associated with the CM Window to thoroughly examine each complaint and ensure fair, transparent and timely resolution, thereby strengthening the trust of the complainants.

On this occasion, BJP State President Sh Mohan Lal Kaushik, Chief Minister’s OSD Sh Bharat Bhushan Bharti, State General Secretary Dr. Archana Gupta, General Secretary Sh Surendra Poonia and several other dignitaries were present.

*Haryana Presents Steady Gains in Fight Against Air Pollution at High-Level Review Meeting*

Chandigarh, December 15: Haryana on Monday presented a picture of steady and wide-ranging progress in its fight against air pollution in the Delhi-NCR region, as the state’s clean air initiatives—from farm-level stubble management to electric mobility and waste remediation—came under review at a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Sh. Anurag Rastogi.

The review, aligned with directions of the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) and the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, assessed Action Taken Reports (ATR) and finalised State and City Action Plans for 2025–26. Detailed city-specific strategies for NCR municipal corporations—Gurugram, Faridabad, Sonipat, Karnal, Panipat, Rohtak and Manesar—were discussed during the meeting.

A key highlight of the meeting was Haryana’s sustained push to curb stubble burning through large-scale adoption of Crop Residue Management (CRM) machinery. Since 2018–19, over one lakh CRM machines have been distributed to farmers on subsidy at a cost of ₹932 crore, enabling in-situ management of paddy straw across villages. Custom Hiring Centres are being closely monitored to ensure access for small and marginal farmers.

Parallelly, ex-situ utilisation has gained momentum, with paddy straw being channelled to pelletisation units, thermal power plants, brick kilns and industries. Several Compressed Biogas (CBG) plants across Jhajjar, Kurukshetra, Ambala, Fatehabad and Panipat are now operational, collectively consuming thousands of tonnes of paddy straw annually and converting agricultural waste into clean energy.

*Thermal Power Plants Lead Biomass Co-Firing*

Thermal power plants within 300 km of Delhi have crossed key sustainability milestones. As of November 2025, all operational units have exceeded 6 per cent biomass co-firing, with at least 50 per cent paddy straw, barring one unit under scheduled maintenance. Plants at Khedar, Panipat, Yamunanagar and Jhajjar reported significant biomass consumption, reflecting a shift towards cleaner power generation. Brick kilns in non-NCR districts have also begun mandatory 20 per cent biomass co-firing, backed by revised consents and inspections.

*EV Push Picks Up Speed*

The state’s electric mobility programme is gaining traction, with 60 e-buses already operating across 10 cities, including Gurugram, Panipat and Karnal. More buses are in the pipeline, with approvals in place for over 800 e-buses under different procurement models. Old BS-III and BS-IV diesel buses have been shifted out of NCR districts to reduce emissions.

*Dust and Waste Under Control*

Urban dust mitigation featured prominently, with NCR cities deploying mechanised road sweepers, water sprinklers and anti-smog guns at identified hotspots. Action plans for end-to-end paving and greening of major roads have been submitted to CAQM.

On waste management, Haryana is progressing towards clearing over 14 lakh metric tonnes of legacy municipal solid waste by December 2025, barring Gurugram, where remediation is targeted by 2028. New waste-to-fuel plants for Gurugram and Faridabad are expected to bridge existing processing gaps. Construction and demolition waste processing capacity is also being expanded, with recycled material increasingly used in construction works.

*Industrial Compliance Tightened*

Industries have been directed to complete installation of Online Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems by December 2025, with daily monitoring by the pollution control board. Emission control devices, DG set retrofits and compliance with thermal power plant emission norms were also reviewed.

Officials said the meeting underscored Haryana’s integrated and time-bound approach to air quality management, driven by inter-departmental coordination and strict monitoring. With winter pollution challenges looming, the state expressed confidence that its sustained measures would translate into cleaner air across the NCR.

Chief Minister calls for smart, transparent and people-centric policing at state-level security conference

Police role extends beyond crime control to building public trust and sense of security: Chief Minister

Chief Minister praises Operation ‘Hotspot Domination’, says it has instilled fear among criminals

Strict action against drug abuse must go hand in hand with public awareness: Chief Minister

Chandigarh , December 15: Haryana Chief Minister, Sh Nayab Singh Saini said that the role of the police extends beyond merely controlling crime; it also involves instilling a sense of security, trust and faith in justice among the common citizens. He emphasized that public trust is the greatest asset of any democracy.

The Chief Minister was presiding over a state-level security conference on the theme “Viksit Bharat – Security Dimensions”, held today in Panchkula.

The conference was attended by Director Generals of Police, Additional Directors General of Police, Inspectors General of Police, Police Commissioners, Superintendents of Police, representatives of the Government of India, and several other senior officers.

The Chief Minister said that the State Government firmly believes that sustained development is possible only when the law and order situation remains strong, fair and impartial. He emphasized that the success of major initiatives in investment, industry, education, health and social development is directly linked to the efficiency, integrity and professional competence of the police force.

Addressing the officers present, he stated that they are not only the custodians of law and order but also the strong foundation of good governance and social stability in the State. On this occasion, the Chief Minister also lauded the courage, dedication and discipline of every jawan and officer of the Haryana Police, who are working tirelessly, day and night, in the field.

He said that Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi had participated in the 60th All India Conference of Directors General of Police and Inspectors General of Police, held in Raipur in November last year. The three-day conference was organised on the theme “Viksit Bharat – Security Dimensions.” The Chief Minister said that the ideas and guidance provided by the Prime Minister during the conference serve as guiding principles for all, and are giving a new direction to police strategy at the state level.

Referring to Operation Hotspot Domination, the Chief Minister said that over the past few years, the Haryana Police has achieved significant success against inter-state gangs, drug traffickers and cybercriminals. Under this operation, more than 2,000 criminals were arrested within 12 days. He further said that Operation Track Town has also created a strong deterrent effect among criminals. Under this operation, 7,587 criminals were sent to jail in 23 days, and illegal property worth Rs. 168 crore was seized.

Sh Nayab Singh Saini said that the present era is driven by technology, and it is imperative for the police to remain updated with advanced technological tools. He issued necessary directions for the installation of CCTV cameras at crime-sensitive locations across the state. Emphasizing public expectations, he said that whenever an incident occurs, people look towards the system for justice, and it is our collective responsibility to uphold this trust.

The Chief Minister further stressed the need for concrete and sustained efforts towards de-addiction in society. He said that while strict action is being taken to curb drug abuse, creating widespread public awareness is equally important. Under the de-addiction campaign, the government has been organizing cyclothons, marathons, and other awareness programmes from time to time, which are yielding encouraging results.

On this occasion, Additional Chief Secretary, Home Department, Dr. Sumita Misra said that 108 recommendations were made during the DG/IG Conference held last year, and almost all of them have been successfully implemented. She informed that 107 new recommendations have been made this year as well, which will be completed within the stipulated time frame. Dr. Misra further said that Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini has made a historic announcement to increase the representation of women police personnel in the state from 15 percent to 25 percent, reflecting the government’s strong commitment towards women empowerment and inclusive policing.

She informed that the recruitment process for 5,750 police personnel is currently underway, which includes the recruitment of 950 women police personnel. In addition, the state government has also approved the recruitment of 550 additional women constables in the police force.

Speaking on the occasion, Director General of Police Sh O.P. Singh emphasized the critical role of technology in effectively addressing crime-related challenges. He said that in the present times, technological tools such as CCTV cameras have proved instrumental in solving several major cases and strengthening policing outcomes.

The DGP assured that the Haryana Police will make a meaningful and sustained contribution towards realizing the vision of a Developed India by 2047. He further expressed confidence that under the able leadership of Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini, the police force will continue to perform its duties with dedication, professionalism and commitment to public service.

Youth power is the foundation of a new era of good governance: Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini inaugurates CMGGA 2.0 in Sonipat

CM Gives Call to make Haryana a stronger, more prosperous, educated, healthy, secure, and well-governed state

Chandigarh, December 15: Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, while inaugurating the second phase of the Chief Minister’s Good Governance Associates (CMGGA) 2025 in Sonipat today, said that this occasion is not just the launch of a programme, but a commitment to carry forward a new tradition of good governance in Haryana. He stated that governance is not merely about law and order, but an art of touching people’s hearts and understanding the pulse of society. Good governance is established when every citizen—farmer, labourer, youth, and women—feels that the government is their own. Transparency, accountability, and timely service are the core pillars of good governance.

The Chief Minister said that the CMGGA programme, launched in 2016, was inspired by the idea of how educated and energetic youth can be integrated into the mainstream of governance. This is not a job, but a process of transforming youth into “change-makers.” So far, more than 175 associates have been part of this programme, who visit villages, suggest solutions based on dialogue, and strengthen the foundation of real good governance on the ground.

Referring to Haryana’s historical and cultural heritage, the Chief Minister said that the 4,600-year-old civilization of Rakhigarhi is proof of the prosperity of this land. Through CMGGA, more than 70 percent of associates are still actively engaged in policy research, the social sector, and development work. Under ‘Antyodaya Saral,’ more than 600 government services have been made available online, while over 85 percent of families have been successfully registered under the ‘Parivar Pehchan Patra.’ Under the ‘Saksham Haryana’ campaign, nearly 14 lakh children are benefiting from improved education.

Providing details of the new format of CMGGA-2025, the Chief Minister said that the mantra of this phase is—“Innovation has happened, now it is time for implementation.” This time, Global Village Foundation has joined as the implementing agency and Rishihood University as the learning partner. A total of 27 associates will work on priority areas such as rural development, policy research, governance, climate policy, and data analytics. These candidates are from premier institutions like TISS, IIMs, and IITs, and have work experience in organizations such as NITI Aayog.

Chief Minister Sh. Saini said Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi has resolved to make India a developed nation by 2047. Haryana is moving rapidly in this direction with the goal of becoming a trillion-dollar economy and generating new employment opportunities. This is not just economic expansion, but an agenda of human development.

Addressing the associates, he said that they should not view this opportunity merely as a certificate or a stepping stone in their careers, but as a mission of nation-building. Work with dedication, take every responsibility seriously, never compromise on truth and transparency, and always keep the spirit of innovation alive. Challenges will arise and mistakes may happen, but true leadership lies in learning from them and moving forward. Quoting the message of the Gita, he said, “Perform your duty without worrying about the outcome.”

The Chief Minister called upon everyone to work together through CMGGA-2025 to make Haryana a stronger, more prosperous, educated, healthy, secure, and well-governed state. With the resolve of a developed India, the time has come to move forward rapidly in the direction of building a developed Haryana.

On this occasion, BJP State President Mohanlal Badoli, MLA Krishna Gahlawat, MLA Pawan Kharkhoda, Additional Principal Secretary to the Chief Minister Yashpal Yadav, Chairman of Global Village Foundation Sumit Kumar, Former Railway Minister and Chancellor of Rishihood University, Sh. Suresh Prabhu, CEO of Rishihood University Sahil Aggarwal, and several other dignitaries were present.

Youth must ensure their role in realizing good governance

Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini also met separately with all the selected Chief Minister’s Good Governance Associates. He interacted with them, took their introductions, and congratulated them for working in Haryana. He said that the objective of the Chief Minister’s Good Governance Associates Programme (CMGGA) is to ensure the participation of youth in realizing the Chief Minister’s vision of good governance. This programme is not merely a fellowship or employment opportunity, but a powerful process to develop youth as “change-makers.” He said that all good governance policies of the government must be taken from the district level to the sub-division, block, and village levels. While challenges will arise, success belongs to those who face challenges and move forward. He emphasized that everyone must work with the spirit of Antyodaya. Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini also shared his experiences and handed over appointment letters to the associates.
