Haryana CM inaugurates development projects during Fatehabad visit

On his visit to Fatehabad district on Saturday, Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini inaugurated many development projects and made appearances at several public events. He first inaugurated the Panchanad Seva Sadan, a community facility for which the foundation stone was laid by former CM Manohar Lal Khattar in December 2020.

Speaking on the cultural significance of Panchnad, he said the term represents the land of the five rivers, Sutlej, Beas, Ravi, Chenab and Jhelum, which birthed and nourished one of the world’s oldest and richest civilisations. In response to requests made by ex-MLA Dura Ram and BJP district president Praveen Jaura, he announced a grant of Rs 31 lakh for the Panchnad Smarak Trust.

The CM also attended a community interaction programme and the grand finale of the MP Sports Festival at MM College. Wrestler Babita Phogat, kabaddi player Deepak Hooda and other distinguished sports personalities were also in attendance. Cabinet minister Krishan Bedi, Rajya Sabha MP Subhash Barala, MLA Vinod Bhayana, former MP Sunita Duggal and former MLA Dura Ram were also present at the event.

Away from the sports field, Saini inaugurated and laid foundation stones for multiple development projects in the district, including a Rs 10.4 crore bus stand in Tohana, a Rs 7 crore multi-purpose complex in Jakhal Mandi, and a 33 kV power substation in Myond village worth Rs 5.68 crore.

He also laid the foundation stones for five additional projects worth Rs 5.26 crore, including village roads, school buildings, classrooms, NSQF labs and boundary walls in villages Musa Khera, Sadhanwas, Chandpura, Karandi and Parta.

Saini on Friday chaired a review meeting for the Education Department, during which he went over detailed progress reports on active schemes, projects and announcements. He directed department officials to accord top priority to CM announcements and ensure completion within the stipulated timelines. He was apprised that six out of the 15 budget announcements had been successfully completed, while nine announcements were making swift progress.
