Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Wednesday launched ‘Jan Sahayak Aapka Sahayak’ mobile app for Government to Citizen (G2C) and Business to Citizen (B2C) services. He also announced a scheme for providing ownership rights to Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) property holders.

Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, the CM said that the app is a single platform for availing government services, emergency helplines and other services which included information on tenders and jobs, and payment of bills.

The helplines included 112 for emergency calls, 100 for police, 108 for ambulances, 101 for fire, 104 for health, 1091 for women, 1098 for children and 1075 for Covid.

One can file a complaint on CM Window or request for FIR or an RTI application through the app.

The CM said that there is a news section where press notes from Director Public Relations will be uploaded. The app has ‘What’s New’ section too. Even government notifications could be accessed on it. It can be operated both in Hindi and English languages.

For giving ownership rights to property holders, the CM launched ‘Mukhyamantri Shehri Nikay Swamitva Yojana’ portal. Those having houses, shops of the municipality on a lease or rent basis for the past 20 years can get ownership rights by registering on the portal.

The process of inviting applications will start from July 1. The occupiers will get a maximum of up to 50 per cent discount on the present collector rate.

Khattar said, “Since the announcement of this scheme, till date, data of as many as 16,000 applicants is available with the Urban Local Bodies Department. As the process of inviting applications is beginning from July 1, this number is likely to increase. Hence a weekly plan for staggering the applications has also been made under which the process of accepting applications would automatically be blocked after 1,000 applications.”

Farmers’ agitation

The CM said that those who are agitating on Haryana’s borders are not farmers.

“Farmers have no objection to three farm laws. It (the agitation) is political. Punjab is going for elections. The Congress is supporting them to malign us.”

“Farmer is a sacred word,” he said and added: “Unfortunately incidents like rape, murder, and disputes with locals had taken place over giving way”.

“I condemn the undemocratic way they (protestors) are operating. They are not allowing CM and ministers to visit. Their notices have challenging language. We are keeping our patience. But crossing limits is not in anyone’s interest,” he said.

Responding to a question regarding starting of tolls on national highways, the Chief Minister said that three tolls of the Haryana government have been made operational.  “Now the Centre will take cognizance in the matter of starting the toll of the Central Government,” he said.

On Khori Gaon Basti colony, he said that 1,400 families residing there are voters of Haryana.  “These families will be provided flats built in Dabua Colony at the prescribed rate.  For this, arrangements will also be made so that they can easily get a loan from the banks,” he said.
