New Delhi [India], March 2 (HBTV): Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini attended a community gathering organised by the Saini Samaj Trust in Amritsar as the chief guest, where he launched the Trust’s official website.
Speaking at the event, the Chief Minister said the website will serve as a platform to share information about the community’s activities and other important updates. He appreciated the opportunity to interact with members of the community and stated that the responsibility he holds today has been entrusted to him by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Expressing gratitude, Saini urged people to work unitedly in the upcoming Assembly elections and called for the formation of a BJP government in Punjab in 2027. He said that under the Prime Minister’s leadership, India is progressing rapidly, which he described as a matter of pride.
In his address, the Chief Minister noted that the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur was commemorated in Haryana with deep reverence.
According to an official release, Saini highlighted various welfare initiatives undertaken by the Haryana government. He said free dialysis facilities are being provided to kidney patients in government and medical colleges across the state. Families with an annual income of up to Rs 1.80 lakh are receiving LPG cylinders at Rs 500. The government has also granted ownership rights to individuals occupying Panchayati land for 20 years and introduced an interest waiver scheme on taxes to support traders.
He added that several schemes for women, including the Lado Lakshmi Yojana, are being implemented with direct benefit transfers to beneficiaries’ bank accounts. Under the fourth instalment of the scheme, approximately Rs 634 crore has been transferred.
For farmers, Saini said a scheme has been launched to operate 5 HP and 10 HP tubewell motors on solar energy to reduce electricity costs. Under the scheme, 45 per cent subsidy is provided by the Haryana Government and 45 per cent by the Central Government, with farmers contributing 10 per cent.
