Girl students to get passport with graduation degree: Haryana CM
KARNAL: Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Saturday said all girl students in the state will be provided passports on the completion of their graduation.
He said the educational institutions in the state will complete the entire process with the regional passport office so that the passport can be provided along with their graduation degree.
The chief minister was attending a programme ‘Har Sar Helmet’ organised to provide learning driving license and free helmets to around 100 students in Karnal.
Earlier, the state government had allowed the educational institutions to provide learning driving license to the students. “At least 13 people lost their lives in road accidents everyday in Haryana and most people who are not wearing helmets die due to head injuries,” the CM said.
He emphasised on the need to spread awareness on road-safety and wearing helmet while riding a two-wheeler.

MC mayor Renu Bala Gupta said the 35 ft mural was created by a private bank in Kalpana Chawla’s memory as she is an inspiration for the young generation.
