Prime Minister Narendra Modi built millions of toilets across the country, but on the other hand, the Congress government in Himachal Pradesh wants to earn money by collecting taxes from toilets- Energy, Transport, and Labor Minister Anil Vij
Our party has maintained a consistent ideology on Jammu and Kashmir from the time of the Jana Sangh founder Shyama Prasad Mukherjee to the present- Anil Vij
From the start, we were against having two constitutions and two flags within one country. Our popular Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has abrogated Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir- Anil Vij
A study will be conducted to set up a separate corporation for inspecting food and drink items at bus stands, similar to the railways- Vij
Chandigarh/Ambala, November 6 - Haryana's Energy, Transport and Labor Minister Sh. Anil Vij today sharply reacted to Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge’s statement that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a habit of speaking in a roundabout way. Sh. Vij retorted that speaking indirectly is ingrained in Congress's DNA. Additionally, he announced that a study would be conducted to set up a separate corporation for inspecting food items at bus stands, similar to the setup in the railway system.
While speaking to media persons today, Cabinet Minister Anil Vij mentioned that Congress had made numerous promises of free schemes in Himachal Pradesh, but now the state government does not even have enough funds to pay salaries to its employees. On one hand, our Prime Minister Narendra Modi has built millions of toilets nationwide, while on the other, the Congress government in Himachal Pradesh wants to earn money by imposing taxes on toilets.
Regarding the newly elected Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah’s comment that if the BJP had adopted former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's approach, the current situation in Jammu and Kashmir would be different, Anil Vij responded and said that from the time of the Jana Sangh founder Shyama Prasad Mukherjee to the present day, the BJP has had a single ideology concerning Jammu and Kashmir. From the start, we were against the existence of ‘Do Vidhan and Do Nishan’ in one country. Our popular Prime Minister Narendra Modi has abrogated Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir.
Congress wants to divide the country’s people again by conducting a caste-based census- Vij
In response to another question, Anil Vij said that Congress has a history of discriminatory philosophy. It was Congress that partitioned the country based on religion, leading to the creation of Pakistan, in which ten lakh (one million) people were killed. The massacre of Sikhs was also based on discrimination, and Rajiv Gandhi had infamously said, "When a big tree falls, the earth shakes."
Anil Vij claimed that Congress now wants to conduct a caste-based census to incite divisions among the people again. He advised Rahul Gandhi to stop his "business of division," claiming that Rahul Gandhi holds a PhD in division. He also criticized Rahul Gandhi for making an anti-reservation statement abroad, which he called shameful.
A study will be conducted to establish a separate corporation for inspecting food and drink items at bus stands, similar to the railways- Vij
Orders have been given to ensure proper facilities at state bus stands, such as cleanliness, seating areas for passengers, clean toilets and drinking water. Sh. Vij stated that he has written to the health department for random sampling of food items sold at bus stands to ensure quality for travelers. Similar to the railway system, which has its own corporation for food inspections, he has asked officials to study and implement a similar structure for Haryana’s bus stands.

Haryana Police Enhances Capacity with 27 New Dogs in Squad, Total Now 63
Chandigarh, November 6: Moving forward in capacity building and crime control, Haryana Police has made significant strides by expanding its dog squad under the guidance of Director General of Police (DGP) Shatrujeet Kapur. The squad’s strength has been increased from 36 to 63 trained dogs, each equipped with advanced training to aid in solving crimes and catching criminals.
From January to October 2024, the Haryana Police dog squad contributed to the resolution of 24 cases, leading to the seizure of substantial quantities of narcotics. These include 24.45 kg of marijuana, 17.18 grams of heroin, 42.45 grams of smack, 10.572 kg of poppy husk, and 62 grams of charas.
DGP Shatrujeet Kapur explained that the Haryana Police utilizes three types of dogs, categorized based on their specific skills:
1. *Tracker Dogs*: These dogs assist investigating officers in cases like thefts and murders. They are mainly Labrador breeds and are managed by the State Crime Branch.
2. *Explosive Detection Dogs*: Used for VIP security and bomb detection at suspicious locations, these Labradors are managed by the CID.
3. *Narcotics Dogs*: Specialized in detecting drugs in various locations like buildings, vehicles, and open spaces, these dogs play a crucial role in narcotics control.
Currently, Haryana Police has a total of 63 dogs, with five deployed in the State Narcotics Control Bureau and 58 across all districts. Each dog is handled by a dedicated dog handler and assistant dog handler. The squad includes three main breeds: Belgian Shepherds, German Shepherds, and Labradors, all of which receive high-quality care and maintenance.
The narcotics dogs are acquired from specialized firms when they are 3 to 6 months old, undergo medical examinations, and receive a rigorous six-month narcotics training course before deployment. After about 10 to 11 years of service, these dogs retire, at which point handlers and assistant handlers are given the first option to adopt them. If declined, the dogs are placed with NGOs or organizations.
The DGP noted the importance of the dog squad in crime control, adding that their training programs are specially designed to improve detection skills and assist in bringing offenders to justice. The squad also performs demonstrations on Republic Day and Independence Day, showcasing the dogs’ skills in crime prevention and public safety.
