CM Saini Boosts Village Development Funds; Increases Honorarium for Sanitation Workers

With upcoming Assembly polls, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini announced several measures to boost village development and increased the honorarium for sanitation workers. These include hiking the limit for development works, travel expenses for sarpanches, and boosting fees for lawyers. Saini emphasized the importance of village development to achieve national goals by 2047.

With Assembly polls scheduled later this year, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has rolled out a series of announcements aimed at empowering village sarpanches and sanitation workers in both rural and urban areas.

Addressing the Panchayati Raj and Sarpanch Sammelan in Kurukshetra, Saini stated that sarpanches can now undertake development works up to Rs 21 lakh without e-tendering, a significant increase from the previous Rs 5 lakh limit. Travel expenses for sarpanches using personal vehicles will also be reimbursed at Rs 16 per kilometer.

In response to past protests against the government's e-tendering policy, Saini assured representatives that the state would ensure no shortage of funds for village development. Honorariums for sanitation workers were hiked by Rs 1,000, and substantial fee increases for lawyers at various judicial levels were also announced.
