Chandigarh, October 30 - Haryana Chief Minister Mr. Naib Singh Saini said that the state government is taking forward development works of public interest with priority. While reviewing the works related to floods, waterlogging, irrigation, roads, sewage, drinking water and other infrastructure in Fatehabad district, he gave clear instructions to the officials that each work should be completed in a quality and time-bound manner. The Chief Minister was leading a review meeting of district level officials at the Rest House in Fatehabad on Thursday.
Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini said that the width of Hisar Ghaggar Drain should be increased so that the problem of water drainage from waterlogged areas through it can be solved. He also directed that a proposal should be prepared for water drainage through an alternative route somewhere in the middle to reduce the flow load on Otu Lake. He also directed the Irrigation Department to explore the possibilities of concrete lining the drain in the villages through which it passes so that there is no soil erosion and blockage.
The Chief Minister said that wherever there is a waterlogging situation, water drainage should be ensured quickly so that farmers can sow the crop on time. He directed that a concrete action plan should be prepared for the future by selecting low-line areas, so that the problem of waterlogging does not arise during the monsoon in the coming years.
Referring to the crop damage, the Chief Minister said that the verification of the damage caused to the crops of the farmers due to the recent rains should be completed expeditiously. The data uploaded by the farmers on the Shatipurti portal should be physically verified and it should be ensured that only the current farmers get compensation. He said that the government will give proper compensation to every farmer for his loss, but for this, the report must be accurate and transparent.
The Chief Minister, while reviewing the paddy procurement work in the mandis, said that the purchase of the crop of all the farmers of the district should be done reliably. The verification of the farmers who have registered on the Kashtipurti portal should be completed in all circumstances.

Review on Chilli Lake Project
The Chief Minister, while reviewing the progress of the Chilli Lake project, asked the Deputy Commissioner to send the progress report of all the concerned departments to him. He said that the quality of the work should be checked, and if any department has done low quality work, then strict action should be taken. To remove the land-related hurdle in the construction of the lake, he directed that the procurement process should be adopted through the e-Bhoomi portal. If the land owner wants to sell the entire 4 kanal land, then the purchase should be ensured from e-Bhoomi.
