GURGAON: A 12-year-old girl returning with her minor sister from her father’s work place was allegedly kidnapped by unidentifi­ed men in a car near a village in this district, a police official said on Saturday.

The incident took place on Friday when the victim along with her 7-year-old sister was returning home from the factory where her father works, the official said.

“A car screeched to a halt and the occupants pulled the elder sister into the vehicle, following which the younger sister rushed home and informed her mother after which the incident was reported to the police,” the officer said.

A case of kidnapping has been registered of against unknown persons, he said.

We have made 10 teams to trace the victim, the official said.

The victim’s family hails from Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh, police said. She and her sister often visited the factory to hand over the lunch box to her father, the officer added. Later addressing the public after inaugurati­ng a cooperativ­e sugar mill in Karnal, the CM accepted the demand to widen the Meerut road from Karnal to UP border.

The Haryana chief minister said the BJP government in the state was only well-wisher of the farmers and it has accepted the long-pending demand of new sugar mill in Karnal.

He said that the state government was also working to double the income of farmers by 2022 as announced by Prime Minister

MSP FOR MAIZE

Khattar said that Maize would also be procured on minimum support price (MSP) in Haryana after the government’s decision to restart the procuremen­t of Bajra and sunflower seeds on MSP which was discontinu­ed by the previous government.

The Bajra and Maize so purchased would be utilised under public distributi­on system (PDS).

He said that with the setting up of new cooperativ­e sugar mill,

60 lakh quintal of sugarcane would be crushed during the crushing season besides generating 15 MW of electricit­y.

Out of the total electricit­y produced by this mill, 10.50 MW would be sold to the power utilities which would generate an additional income of ₹15 crore to the sugar mill.

Speaking on Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal, Khattar said that the state government would urge the Central government for early execution of the Supreme Court order on SYL canal so that Haryana could get its rightful share in river waters.
