Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini conducts surprise inspection of 'Samadhan Shivirs', announces major minimum wage increase and 33% women's quota for ration depots.

"Problems of complainants should be resolved within a stipulated time frame. - Nayab Singh Saini"

Chandigarh, April 9

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Thursday conducted a surprise inspection of 'Samadhan Shivirs' through video conferencing and directly interacted with complainants from multiple districts.

During the inspection, the Chief Minister reviewed the functioning of grievance redressal camps without prior notice and assessed the status of complaints being addressed at the camps.

Saini also interacted directly with people who had come to the Samadhan Shivirs in Mahendragarh, Kaithal, Hisar, Hansi and Karnal and listened to their concerns.

He issued clear directions to officials to ensure a timely resolution of complaints raised by citizens at the camps.

"Problems of complainants should be resolved within a stipulated time frame," the Chief Minister instructed officials during the interaction.

Earlier on wednesday, the Haryana Chief Minister announced a hike in the minimum wage for unskilled workers, increasing it from Rs 11,257 to Rs 15,220 per month.

Following recommendations from an expert committee, the Cabinet approved the hike to support labourers. "Keeping these recommendations in view, the Cabinet discussed the matter today and decided to increase the minimum wage," said the Chief Minister.

The Haryana CM also announced that the cabinet had approved a 33% reservation for women in the allocation of ration depots under the public distribution system (PDS).

"Through various schemes, including the Lakhpati Didi and Namo Drone Didi schemes, women are being made active participants in the development process," Saini stated, while adressing a press conference.

"Priority will be given to women who are victims of acid attacks, or are associated with self-help groups, or are widows, etc," the CM added.

The minimum wage hike is a much-needed relief for workers. From ~₹11k to over ₹15k is a significant jump that will help families cope with inflation. The 33% reservation for women in ration depots is also a very positive step for women's empowerment. 👏

Video conferencing for inspection is smart. Saves time and travel. But the real test is on the ground. Are complaints actually getting solved? We hear about these 'shivirs' but often the same problems persist. Action matters more than announcements.

Prioritizing acid attack survivors and widows for ration depot licenses is a thoughtful and compassionate policy. It provides economic opportunity to some of the most vulnerable. Hope the implementation is smooth and transparent.

Good to see focus on both governance (inspection) and welfare (wage hike, women's reservation). This is what a government should do. But let's not forget, the wage hike must be enforced strictly. Many contractors don't pay minimum wage as it is.

Lakhpati Didi, Namo Drone Didi, and now this reservation... clearly a push for women in Haryana's economy. As a woman from the state, I appreciate the intent. Hope the benefits reach the grassroots and aren't just on paper. 🙏
