During the hearing of a case of not paying salaries through the Municipal Corporation to the tube well operators of 24 villages included in the Municipal Corporation in the year 2020, a negligence on a significant scale by the Faridabad Municipal Corporation came to light. The issue arose from the issuance of two letters with the same dispatch number. One letter stated the payment of salaries to employees through the municipal corporation, while the other mentioned not paying the salaries. Consequently, an MCF employee was suspended, and Chief Minister, Manohar Lal directed the filing of an FIR against the employee. A comprehensive investigation into the entire matter was also directed by the CM.
Chief Minister, Manohar Lal was presiding over the monthly meeting of the District Public Relations and Grievance Redressal Committee at HSVP Convention Centre, Faridabad on Wednesday. Haryana Transport Minister, Mool Chand Sharma was also present on the occasion.
In the meeting, 13 out of 16 grievances were promptly resolved on the spot. Among them was a case involving Sharda Devi, a resident of Ballabgarh, whose 66-square-yard plot was unlawfully seized by a local person. Sharda Devi claimed to have paid the full amount for registry and documentation but faced illegal possession of her property. In response, Chief Minister Manohar Lal directed the police to vacate the property and ensure that Sharda Devi gets a house. Along with this, instructions were given to a plot holder in the HSVP sector to make a policy and give him another plot of the same price and size if he does not get the possession despite purchasing the plot in the auction.
The meeting also addressed the long-standing issue of water scarcity in villages such as Hirapur, Naharavali, and a dozen others in the district. On this, Chief Minister, Manohar Lal said that now one lakh three thousand cusecs of water is flowing in the canal and he congratulates all the villagers for this. Similarly, taking cognizance of a complaint regarding pollution in Jhar Sentli village, Chief Minister, Manohar Lal constituted a committee headed by SDM which will solve the problem of grey water of industries and ensure that it is used for plants. Along with this, Chief Minister Manohar Lal informed media persons that an 800-megawatt solar energy power plant will be installed in Yamunanagar soon. He further stated that the process of sending one lakh youth abroad through legal means is underway.
The meeting was attended by the Faridabad MLA, Narender Gupta and MLA, Nayan Pal Rawat, besides several other senior officers.
