Saini lays stone of 225-bed hospital

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday laid the foundation stone of a 225-bed modern hospital at Jatela Dham in Majra (Dubaldhan) here on the occasion of the 225th Nirvana Day of Swami Nitanand Ji.

He also inaugurated the Swami Nitanand Ashram Gaushala and planted saplings to promote environmental conservation.

The CM announced that he would give Rs 31 lakh from his discretionary fund for the hospital. Cabinet Ministers Arvind Sharma and Krishan Kumar Bedi also gave Rs 11 lakh each from their discretionary funds.

Extending greetings on the occasion of Purnima, Saini said Jatela Dham had become a remarkable confluence of faith, service and environmental commitment. He described Jatela Dham as a centre of spiritual consciousness.

The CM said the hospital would not just be a structure of concrete and cement, but a true temple of humanitarian service.

“Once operational, it will provide essential healthcare to the people of the area, benefiting not only Jhajjar but the surrounding regions as well. Every district in Haryana will soon have modern, well-equipped hospitals,” he added.

Saini said Haryana was the first state in the country to provide free medicines for Hepatitis B and C.

Highlighting environmental efforts, the CM praised Jatela Dham’s decision to plant 82,125 saplings.

“The government is also highly committed to environmental protection. Under the ‘Ek Ped Maa ke Naam’ campaign launched by Prime Minister Modi, Haryana exceeded its first-phase target by planting over 1.87 crore saplings, and will plant another 1.82 crore in the second phase,” he added.

A large number of ‘veer naris’ participated in the event and presented a sindoor plant to the CM as a token of their patriotism.

The CM regarded Jhajjar as a land of brave soldiers and praised the region’s deep-rooted sense of nationalism and service.

BJP national secretary Om Prakash Dhankhar, state president Mohan Lal Kaushik and MLAs Rajesh Joon, Suneel Sangwan, Umed Patuwas and Kanwar Singh Yadav were among those present at the event.
