Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Saturday directed officers to ensure time-bound implementation of key public welfare programmes and improve the quality of citizen-centric services. He issued the directions while chairing a review meeting with the Chief Minister Good Governance Associates and senior officers at Haryana Niwas to assess the implementation of solid waste management, human resources, water management, the National Education Policy, and the Ayushman Bharat Scheme.
Detailed Review of Works
Deputy Principal Secretary to Chief Minister, Yashpal Yadav, presented a detailed review of the works completed so far and pending issues. The CM emphasized the need for high standards of cleanliness, particularly at places with heavy public footfall.
Stronger Sanitation Measures
CM Saini directed that door-to-door waste collection should be carried out regularly and no garbage should be allowed to accumulate anywhere. He ordered that all garbage collection vehicles be equipped with GPS-tracking systems for real-time monitoring. He also stressed the need for greater participation of ward committees in urban local bodies, with meetings to be held every three months along with periodic virtual interactions.
The CM directed Municipal Commissioners to conduct quarterly rankings of sanitation standards and overall performance of urban local bodies. He said the tendering process for sanitation works should be aligned with emerging requirements and modern technologies. Preparations for the Swachhata Pakhwada, to be observed from September 17 to October 2, should begin immediately, along with the release of a detailed calendar of activities.
Best-performing wards would be honoured on October 2, while sanitation workers delivering outstanding services should also be rewarded to encourage excellence, said CM Saini. With monsoon approaching, he directed the completion of desilting of all major drains, sewers, and storm-water channels in urban local bodies.
Mandatory e-Office System
Reviewing the HR Department, the CM said the e-Office system must be made mandatory at the headquarters of all departments as well as at district-level offices. He directed all government officers and employees to upload their monthly work on the HRMS portal. Pending matters related to the Comprehensive Financial Management System should be resolved expeditiously, with regular reviews at both district and headquarters levels.
Additionally, the CM directed the Forest Department to undertake plantation of flowering and ornamental plants along roadsides to enhance greenery and aesthetics. He emphasized routine road cleaning as part of the sanitation drive.
