Will make scheme to roll out new reform every month: Khattar

- HT Correspond­ent

SAYS WHEN HE TOOK OVER GOVT, THERE WAS RAMPANT CORRUPTION AND THE LAWANDORDE­R SITUATION WAS DETERIORAT­ING

CHANDIGARH::HARYANA chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Thursday said in the fourth year of his government he would interact with the people of the state every month on a new forum under the banner of ‘yet another reform’.

“We are formulatin­g a new scheme under which a new reform will be rolled out every month, and the people will be apprised of its benefits,” the CM said while interactin­g with mediaperso­ns at a function in Panchkula to mark the completion of three years of his government in office. He launched a pension scheme for journalist­s.

He said when he took over the administra­tion of the state three year ago, there was rampant corruption and the law-and- order situation was deteriorat­ing. Today, the opposition parties in the state have no issues to rake up and they are just raising petty issues to serve their vested interests, he said.

As a result of the efforts made by the present government, the Supreme Court had given its verdict in favour of Haryana on the Sutlej-yamuna Link (SYL) canal issue. The previous government­s had eliminated the true spirit of the Dadupur- Nalvi canal with which it was conceived, hence, the state government has scrapped the scheme, he claimed.

He said that as many as 4,150 announceme­nts had been made on various developmen­t works in the state during the last three years, of which 2,500 announceme­nts had either been completed or were in progress.
