Sh. Devender Babli was addressing at the ‘Jan Pratinidhi Samwad program’ at the district level Panchayati Raj Sammelan in Karnal on Friday.
Congratulating the elected public representatives, Sh. Devender Babli said that the public has entrusted the responsibility to all the representatives with full faith.

Like cities, waste management system will be implemented in villages
Sh. Devender Babli said that the state government is planning to implement the work of waste management in villages on the lines of cities. In this regard, preparations are being made to give tenders at the block level. “This will bring a big change in the villages. Prime Minister Sh.

Prepare a blue-print for development of villages
The Development and Panchayat Minister said that the public representatives should prepare a blueprint for the development of the villages. “Whichever Panchayat will prepare a proposal for the place where the garbage will be dumped and send it to the Panchayat Department; after passing it in the Gram Sabha, the work of building a park will be done for them,” he said. Sh. Devender Babli said that if facilities like infrastructure, library and e-library would be provided for children in the villages, then they will not go to other states and big cities for coaching. With the formation of an educated society, a strong nation will be built, he added.
Haryana government making plans for people
Sh. Devendra Babli said that the state government is making various plans and schemes for the people. “Water has been made available from door-to-door through taps; this scheme has been achieved to the extent of 90 percent. 24-hours electricity is being given under ‘Jagmag Yojana’.

People’s representatives are link between government and administration: Harvinder Kalyan
Gharaunda MLA, Sh. Harvinder Kalyan said that the public representatives are the link between the government and the public. “If there is no representative in a democratic system, then grievances of the people cannot be resolved,” he said, adding that all the public representatives of Karnal district will work to take the panchayats towards development. He said that Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal took over the reins in 2014 and did the work of reforming the system. “Today, jobs are being provided on the basis of merit in the state. The responsibility of the elected representatives is big. They should consider the entire village as a family and do development work for all sections. If we work as a team, then there will be all-round development,” he added.
