Chandigarh, June 30:- Haryana Chief Minister **Nayab Singh Saini** said that all cities across the state will be developed in accordance with future requirements so that citizens receive all essential services on a priority basis without having to visit multiple offices for resolving their problems.

He also reviewed the progress of the Chief Minister’s announcements, Budget announcements, and commitments outlined in the government’s manifesto, while issuing necessary directions to the concerned officials.

Nayab Singh Saini said that Haryana’s cities will be taken to new heights of development over the next five years to contribute towards the goal of **Viksit Bharat 2047**.

It will also provide improved services for senior citizens and include links to services offered by other government departments.

Emphasising water conservation, Nayab Singh Saini directed officials to install **Rainwater Harvesting Systems** to improve groundwater levels.

The Chief Minister also instructed officials to establish large-scale rainwater harvesting infrastructure in districts prone to waterlogging during the monsoon season.

The Chief Minister directed the Urban Local Bodies Department to plant **one lakh saplings** during the monsoon season under the **'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam'** campaign. He instructed officials to ensure proper maintenance of the plantations through tree guards and dedicated staff for watering and upkeep. Of these, **20,000 saplings** will be planted in **Gurugram** district alone. He also issued detailed directions regarding wall paintings, city beautification, development of green belts, tree pruning, and laying tiles along vacant spaces adjoining footpaths.

Reviewing the progress of **Waste-to-Energy Plants** proposed in **Gurugram, Faridabad, Hisar, Yamunanagar, and Ambala**, the Chief Minister described the projects as highly important and directed officials to expedite their implementation. He said these plants would not only ensure scientific disposal of municipal waste but would also generate compost and electricity. He also reviewed urban drainage projects in **Rohtak, Bahadurgarh, Jhajjar, and Yamunanagar**, issuing necessary directions to ensure timely completion.

Nayab Singh Saini further directed officials to develop **Panchkula, Gurugram, Faridabad, and Sonipat** as **theme-based Sister Cities** in collaboration with international cities by adopting global best practices.
