Haryana Archaeology and Museums Minister Anoop Dhanak has expressed gratitude to Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala for making a provision in the Budget for developing important historical buildings.

He said that the site museum of Interpretation Centre at Rakhigarhi, which was under construction, and the setting up of a site museum at the pre-Harappan site in Fatehabad would prove to be vital assets to the state.

The minister said that this year’s Budget had surpassed everyone’s expectations and it would pave the way for the state’s development and progress.

He said that the proposal to increase the amount provided to the Scheduled Castes persons to meet the expenditure on defending their cases related to property, agricultural land, rent and reservation, etc., in courts under the Legal Aid Scheme from Rs 11,000 to Rs 22,000 also came as a huge relief.
