Haryana CM Khattar approves purchase, contracts worth over Rs 146 crore

Later while addressing the media, Khattar said, “As many as 21 agendas of Irrigation, Hartron, Land Records, Transport, Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited and Animal Husbandry Department were placed in the meeting, of which most of the agendas were approved. About Rs 10 crore was saved after negotiations with various bidders.”

“In the meeting, a proposal regarding the purchase of 70 mobile veterinary vans was approved for the convenience of livestock owners so that they can get easy transportation options for the medical facilities of their animals. The purchase of these vans will cost around Rs 11 crore. Apart from this, approval was also accorded to procure 300 GNSS Rovers at a cost of about Rs 32 crore to give impetus to the Haryana Large Scale Mapping Project”, the state government spokesperson said.

Responding to a question on the statements being made by the opposition, Khattar said, “The opposition says that they will discontinue Parivar Pehchan Patra portal and merit-based recruitment system that were introduced and successfully implemented by us. The more the opposition will criticise our welfare policies, the more befitting reply they will get from the public. We aim that every single penny of the public should be spent in a transparent manner for their welfare only.”
