Doors open 24 hours a day to listen to grievances, says Haryana CM
Chandigarh, Oct 28
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Tuesday said it is the government's responsibility to resolve every problem of its residents.
"The doors of the Chief Minister's residence are open 24 hours a day to listen to people's issues. Also, the district administration is holding 'Samadhan Camps' every Monday and Thursday to hear public grievances," an official statement quoting the Chief Minister said.
CM Saini was listening to the problems of people from the Ladwa Assembly Constituency during the Jan Samvad (public dialogue) programme organised in Ladwa. The Chief Minister heard the grievances of around 200 people, which included issues related to BPL ration cards, family ID cards, electricity, and police matters. After the grievance hearing, the Chief Minister also participated in a tree plantation drive in the PWD Rest House premises.
CM Saini said the welfare of farmers is at the core of the present government's policies. "Now, all crops in the state are being procured at the minimum support price (MSP)." Recently, the support price for sugarcane was fixed at Rs 415 per quintal. The Chief Minister said so far, about Rs 1,48,000 crore has been transferred to the accounts of 12 lakh farmers as crop procurement payments.
He said the long-standing "aabiana" system, dating back to the British era, has been abolished to provide relief to farmers. The Chief Minister said Haryana provides the highest social security pension in the country, which has recently been increased from Rs 3,000 to Rs 3,200 per month.
In addition, the Deendayal Lado Laxmi Yojana has been launched, under which economically weaker women will receive a monthly financial assistance of Rs 2,100 from November 1.
The Chief Minister said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has resolved to make India a developed nation by the year 2047. In this direction, the Prime Minister has called for 'Vocal for Local' and 'Make in India' initiatives and has strengthened the economy through GST reforms.
He also highlighted various development and welfare schemes of the present government.

While the intention is good, I hope this isn't just political rhetoric. Many such programs start with great enthusiasm but then the implementation suffers. The real test will be whether common people actually get their problems solved.
The increase in social security pension from Rs 3000 to Rs 3200 and the new scheme for economically weaker women is much needed. In rural Haryana, these small amounts make a big difference for elderly and women. Good step!
Abolishing the British-era aabiana system is a historic move! Our farmers have suffered under this outdated system for decades. Finally some real reform that benefits the agricultural community. ðŸ‘
The Jan Samvad program in Ladwa shows commitment to grassroots governance. Hearing 200 people directly and then participating in tree plantation - this is the kind of leadership we need. Hope this continues across all constituencies.
As someone who has worked in rural development, I appreciate the focus on both immediate grievance redressal and long-term welfare schemes. The combination of Samadhan Camps and financial assistance programs shows comprehensive planning.
