Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, while making a series of announcements for the Badhra Assembly constituency, on Thursday, said high-tension electricity wires passing over residential areas will be removed.

For this job, Rs 3 crore will be provided to the Electricity Department, and the government will bear the entire cost. In addition, the Chief Minister announced that a new grain market will be established in Badhra once suitable land is made available. He also announced the construction of a vegetable market in Hadouda village, subject to feasibility assessment, and the inclusion of Jhojhu Kalan village under the Mahagram Yojana.

These announcements were made at a public meeting at Jhojhu Kalan in Charkhi Dadri district. On this occasion, Irrigation and Water Resources Minister Shruti Chaudhary, Member of Parliament Dharambir Singh, among other dignitaries, were present.

CM Saini announced that the consolidation work of certain villages in the constituency, which is currently pending, will be completed at the earliest. He said a veterinary hospital will be established in Patuwas village once suitable land is available. He announced that Badhra will be granted the status of an electricity division, and an electricity office will be constructed for which Rs 3 crore has been sanctioned. In addition, after conducting a feasibility assessment, the Badhra Public Health subdivision will be upgraded to a full division.

Announcing plans to upgrade the Kaliyana-Dadri road to a four-lane highway, the Chief Minister said the project will proceed after the feasibility study. Responding to the demand for granting sub-tehsil status to Jhojhu Kalan, he said an application should be submitted to the committee constituted by the government for such matters. Furthermore, he announced that a fire station will be set up in Badhra after a feasibility assessment.

The government schools in Mahrana and Dhani Phogat villages will also be upgraded to the senior secondary level following a feasibility review. CM Saini, while announcing measures to strengthen the road network in the constituency, said 100 roads covering a total length of 311.20 km, currently under the Defect Liability Period (DLP), will be repaired.

As someone who lives under these wires, I welcome this decision. But Rs 3 crore seems insufficient for such a massive task. Hope they allocate more funds if required.

Good initiative but why only announce before elections? These basic infrastructure issues should be addressed routinely. The grain market and road upgrades are much needed though!

The focus on rural infrastructure is commendable. Veterinary hospital and upgraded schools will make a real difference in villagers' lives. Hope they don't stop at feasibility studies!

All announcements sound great on paper, but implementation is key. Our area has been waiting for similar promises to materialize for 5+ years. Action speaks louder than words!

Removing high-tension wires is a safety must, but underground cabling would be better long-term solution. The initial cost is higher but maintenance is lower. Why not consider that?
