Chandigarh, July 26 – Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal said that in order to speed up the functioning of government departments and to make the benefits of schemes available to the public without visiting government offices, an online system has been started, which is proving very effective.
“Recently, the state government has provided financial aid of Rs 4 lakh each to the families of 35 people who lost their lives due to heavy rains and floods. It is only because of the IT reforms brought by the state government, that the relief amount has been given in a quick and speedy manner,” said Sh. Manohar Lal while holding a meeting with people's representatives and eminent citizens of Faridabad Lok Sabha constituency at his residence Sant Kabir Kutir today.
During the meeting, he took assembly-wise feedback and suggestions about the government schemes.
Sh. Manohar Lal said that Congress tag us as ‘Portal ki Sarkar’. We accept this tag with pride that our government has made more than 100 portals, due to which people do not have to make rounds to Chandigarh to get their work done; rather now they can simply raise any concern or avail the benefits of any scheme while sitting at their homes only.
“Our portals have not only saved the time of our citizens but have also ensured no extra financial burden is put on them,” said Sh. Manohar Lal.
He said that in a bid to further bridge the gap between the government and the citizens, a special initiative of constituency-wise direct Samvad with the people's representatives and eminent citizens has been started since April 2023.
“So far public representatives, eminent citizens of 63 assemblies of 7 Lok Sabha constituencies and various administrative secretaries have held several round-table meetings discussing government schemes, development works and their concerns. Apart from this, till now more than 14,000 issues and suggestions shared in this meeting in writing, have also been shared with me, which I have studied and now a record of everything has been kept,” shared Sh. Manohar Lal.
The Chief Minister also sought a list of the works to be done in the Faridabad Lok Sabha constituency. He also assured the people present in the meeting that all the work will be done on a priority basis.
He said that before announcing any project, public representatives must take information about the feasibility of the projects from the local District Administration so that they can complete the project in a timely manner.
“Many times the land is not available for the projects, due to which there is a delay in the implementation of the project, therefore, along with the viability, the people's representatives should negotiate with the landowners and farmers and ensure the availability of land on the e-Bhoomi portal,” said Sh. Manohar Lal.
