Online land registration to curb scope for corruption: CM

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini today said that the land registration process in all tehsils across the state has been made completely online by the state government to curb corruption during the registration work.

The CM said that the buyers could now apply for registration online from their homes and the Tehsildars are required to complete registrations within a fixed timeframe. If a registration is not completed on time, the tehsildar concerned must submit a written explanation to the government. If the explanation is found unsatisfactory, disciplinary action would be initiated and the responsibility of the registration would be transferred to a senior officer, he said.

The Chief Minister was addressing a Dhanyawadi rally and Jan Samvad programmes in villages of Ladwa Assembly constituency on Saturday. During the visit, the CM attended programmes at Prahladpur, Badarpur, Bani, Budha and Bapdi villages. He also listened to public grievances and issued directions to the officials to resolve people’s issues. He also announced grants of Rs 21 lakh each for development works in the villages.

Addressing the gathering at Budha village, the Chief Minister assured that there would be no shortage of funds for development works in Ladwa Assembly constituency.

The CM highlighted various government schemes, urged citizens to take full advantage of government welfare schemes and said that people would no longer need to visit Chandigarh for the redress of their issues as officers have been clearly directed to resolve public grievances locally.

The CM also informed that the state government would soon allot 100-square-yard residential plots to landless and needy families. About 7,000 such beneficiaries would be linked with the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and after that, they would be provided the prescribed financial assistance for house construction.

Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister said that under the Mukhyamantri Shehri Awas Yojana, around 15,500 families have already been provided 30-square-yard plots. He said the government would shortly announce new government recruitments to provide jobs to youth.

Saini further shared that under the Lado Lakshmi Scheme, so far, two instalments have been paid to 10 lakh women. He added that remaining eligible families could apply for the Lado Lakshmi Scheme. The government is receiving between 3,000 and 4,000 new applications daily.

During the visit, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini also halted his convoy in Babain village to hear public grievances and ensured their redress.

Speaking to mediapersons, the Chief Minister said, “The Congress doesn’t have any agenda and the party has lost its ground. They have no achievements to show.”
