He also criticized the Congress and Aam Aadmi Party, stating that their leaders used to blame each other. However, when they saw Prime Minister.

Now, these same opposition leaders are talking about EVMs being hacked, not realizing that the public understands the truth. The public has once again shown the opposition its place, defeating them for the third consecutive time.

He further added that, alongside developmental works, new welfare schemes will be introduced to benefit citizens and accelerate Haryana’s progress in terms of development.

The Chief Minister said that in the last 10 years, Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi has launched various schemes aimed at benefiting the poor, which has led to the people’s trust in these policies and their decision to form the BJP government in Haryana. Haryana government is committed to the welfare of the people by following the Antyodaya philosophy of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya. Our government is progressing with the guiding principles of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Prayas, and Sabka Vishwas.

He highlighted that the Haryana government has set a target to establish a medical college in every district. In the past 10 years, medical colleges have been opened in 15 districts, and work is underway to establish colleges in 7 more districts.

Through its regional center, the university will empower farmers in the field of horticulture, helping them increase their income.

*State government has undertaken several initiatives in the interest of farmers

The Chief Minister said that the state government has undertaken several initiatives in the interest of farmers. To alleviate the financial burden caused by the lack of rainfall this year, the government has provided a bonus of Rs 2000 per acre.

During this, the accident victim will be provided free treatment up to a limit of Rs 1.5 lakh for a maximum of 7 days under Section 162 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.

*Process of Availing Cashless Facility

Under this scheme, the road accident victim is taken to the hospital.

After confirmation, the injured person is provided with cashless treatment.

*Comparative Analysis, Achievements and Measures

*Strategic Partnership

Along with this, black spots have also been identified in the state where road accidents are relatively high. These black spots are rectified by coordinating with the concerned road engineering departments. In view of the seriousness of the subject of road safety, road safety committees have been formed in different districts of the state, through which regular meetings are held on the agenda of road safety. By the end of October 2024, 107 such meetings have been held, which are chaired by the Deputy Commissioner of the respective district. He said that in the year 2024, the road safety committee checked 19 thousand 261 school buses, out of which 4,657 school buses were challaned for irregularities. Sh.

*DGP's Appeal

Appealing to the common people, Sh. Kapur said that road safety is an important issue. The common people should cooperate in making the roads safe and should drive vehicles only within the prescribed speed limit. Haryana Police organizes various types of competitions and activities to make the common people aware of traffic rules. He said that people should not use mobile phones etc. while driving. Even a slight negligence of a person can prove fatal not only for themselves but also for other people.

Chandigarh, Dec 14 - The Haryana Right to Service Commission has directed the Housing Board, Haryana, to compensate an allottee with Rs. 5,000 due to undue delays and harassment in processing a refund related to a property in a death case.

After reviewing the case and hearing from the concerned authorities, the Commission concluded that the Housing Board’s delay and the subsequent harassment faced by the complainant warranted compensation. The Commission has ordered the Housing Board to pay Rs. 5,000 as compensation.

Further, the Commission directed that the Housing Board recover the compensation amount from the responsible officers after conducting an inquiry into the delay. In addition, the Board has been instructed to inform the Commission once the property transfer has been completed.
