Chandigarh, August 10 – Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said the government is working to implement plans to preserve Pehowa’s cultural heritage and develop it as a grand and attractive tourist destination. Among these heritage sites, the Brahma Sarovar is a symbol of our culture, and it is the government’s responsibility to preserve it.
An important aspect is that Brahm Sarovar and the surrounding pilgrimage site, spread over about 102 acres, attract migratory birds from across the country and abroad during certain seasons, highlighting its significance. To preserve this, the government is undertaking the renovation and conservation of pilgrimage sites so that future generations can witness this cultural heritage.
The Chief Minister was speaking at a programme held at Brahma Sarovar in village Thana, Kurukshetra, on Sunday. Earlier, he inspected the Brahma Sarovar pilgrimage site and planted a sapling in the premises of the government school. On this occasion, the Chief Minister announced a grant of ₹21 lakh for the village’s development and assured the sarpanch that the demands mentioned in the memorandum would be fulfilled.
The Chief Minister said under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, the state government is rapidly carrying out development works. Today, due to the construction of national highways, travel from one corner of the state to another can be completed in 3 to 4 hours, and there is no district left unconnected by a national highway.
He further said the government has enacted a law to transfer up to 500 square yards of panchayat land, occupied for houses by residents for the last 20 years, in their names at the 2004 collector rate. This has also resolved many court cases in villages. The levy imposed on farmers since the British era has been completely abolished, and the government has waived ₹133 crore worth of such levies. Haryana is the first state in the country where all crops of farmers are purchased at MSP, and even vegetable crops are procured under the Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana.
MP Sh. Naveen Jindal said under the leadership of the Chief Minister, development works are being carried out not only in Kurukshetra but across Haryana, based on the policy of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ and ‘Haryana Ek, Haryanvi Ek’. The Chief Minister has given numerous projects to Seonsar and Thana villages of the Pehowa constituency, which in the coming time will give Pehowa pilgrimage town a new identity as a world-renowned tourist destination.
On this occasion, former Minister of State Sh. Subhash Sudha, CM’s OSD Sh. Bharat Bhushan Bharti, former MLA Kulwant Bazigar, and other dignitaries were present.
