Chandigarh, August 14 – Haryana Director General of Police (DGP) Sh. Shatrujeet Kapur held a meeting with senior officers to review the functioning and performance of Emergency Response Vehicles (ERVs) with the aim of enhancing their efficiency. On the occasion, the DGP stated clearly that providing quick, reliable, and high-quality service to the public during emergencies is the police’s top priority, and ERVs must be continuously strengthened to achieve this goal.

In the meeting, the DGP said that ERVs are the face of the police’s first response, and to maintain public trust, their services must be fast, accurate, and sensitive. He directed the officers present to continuously improve ERV efficiency by reducing response time, providing regular staff training, and strengthening technical monitoring. He further clarified that each vehicle is monitored 24/7 by Police Headquarters, and no negligence or indiscipline will be tolerated. The meeting also discussed in detail the performance parameters set for ERV personnel.

Reviewing the average response time of ERVs across districts, the DGP directed concerned officers to prepare concrete and time-bound action plans to further reduce it. He stressed that delayed ERV responses not only affect the image of the police but also hinder timely assistance to victims.

Performance Analysis through Data and Dashboard

During the meeting, representatives of the Haryana 112 team gave a detailed PowerPoint presentation on dashboard and data analysis systems. They explained how each ERV’s location, speed, response time, and call handling are tracked in real time. Based on this data, the efficiency of each vehicle is assessed and areas needing improvement are identified.

Training for ERV Staff

The presentation also mentioned that a special training program on the “Audit Module of ERV” has been organised for ERV nodal officers and ERSS staff in each district. The training includes live demonstrations of the module, its Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and first-aid guidelines.

Sh. Kapur said ERVs are the backbone of public safety and emergency services. Haryana Police’s goal is to ensure that emergency responses are not only quick but also of high quality and humane in approach. Continuous improvement will be made on all three fronts—technology, training, and monitoring.

Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Sh. Sanjay Kumar, Additional Director General of Police (Traffic & National Highways) Sh. Hardeep Doon, Inspector General of Police (Law and Order) Sh. Simardeep Singh, and several other senior officers were present during the meeting.

Chandigarh, August 14 — The State Health Authority (SHA), Haryana, has clarified on the recent concerns regarding the call for withdrawal of services by empanelled private hospitals under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) from 7th August, 2025.

In response to communications from the Indian Medical Association (IMA), Haryana, a spokesperson of the SHA said all pending payments to empanelled healthcare providers are being processed and disbursed strictly in accordance with the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) methodology. The SHA has assured that all outstanding dues will be settled without delay.

The SHA has also addressed multiple legitimate requests raised by IMA and participating hospitals. These include inclusion of hospital and IMA representatives in the State Empanelment Committee, State Grievance Redressal Committee, and District Grievance Redressal Committees and adoption of the latest package master, to ensure transparency and better operational alignment.

As of now, claims submitted up to the 2nd week of June 2025 have been paid. Since the inception of the scheme, over ₹3,050 crore has been disbursed to hospitals. For the current financial year 2025–26, up to 13th August 2025, approximately ₹480 crore has been received from the Central and State Governments and has been fully utilized for eligible claim settlements. In the last 7 days, Rs. 170 crore have been released to empanelled hospitals in the state.

The spokesperson said claims are processed through the NHA’s online platform by a team of 60 doctors, using an impartial and transparent allocation system that randomly assigns cases to processors. All deductions are strictly made per NHA guidelines, and only when there is insufficient clinical justification or documentation.

Hospitals are given an opportunity to upload supporting documents including vital charts, OT notes, clinical images, and lab reports before any claim is rejected or deducted. In case of disagreement, hospitals may appeal through the portal, and such appeals are reviewed by a Medical Audit Committee.

Regarding hospital empanelment and NABH incentives, all hospitals that received NABH incentive approvals via HEM 1.0 will continue to be eligible, provided their NABH certifications are valid. Hospitals applying a new must submit updated documentation via the HEM 2.0 portal, and these applications are being reviewed on priority.

The spokesperson said a large number of private hospitals across the state have distanced themselves from IMA’s service withdrawal call and continue to provide services. On an average, 2500 ‘pre-auths’ per day are being registered by empanelled hospitals with private hospitals raising pre-auth of Rs. 2 Crore approx. per day on average.

A recent grievance was received regarding denial of treatment to a beneficiary in Rewari. The SHA acted promptly by issuing a show-cause notice. The hospital clarified that cashless treatment is being provided under the scheme and admitted patient under the scheme. Any violation/denial of treatment report shall be dealt strictly by State Health Authority as per the rules and guidelines.

 The SHA emphasized that there is no valid basis for any disruption or withdrawal of services under AB PM-JAY, as all raised issues have been effectively addressed.

Chandigarh, August 14 — Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini on Thursday observed ‘Vibhajan Vibhishika Smriti Diwas’ (Partition Horrors Remembrance Day) in Faridabad, solemnly recalling the immense upheaval and pain endured by countless individuals during one of the most tragic chapters in India’s history.

Paying heartfelt tributes to the countless ancestors who lost their lives during the 1947 partition and to the lakhs of families uprooted in one of the darkest chapters of India’s history, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini announced that Haryana will hold an exhibition of literature and documents related to the partition to keep the memory alive. The history of the ‘Vibhajan Vibhishika Smriti Diwas’ will also be formally incorporated into the school curriculum, ensuring that future generations understand the suffering and resilience of their forebears.

In a significant social reform measure, the Chief Minister said the state government will introduce special provisions to address the difficulties faced by women whose names are changed after marriage, easing the process of amending official documents. He also announced to give Rs. 51 lakh from his discretionary fund for the construction of a Partition Horrors Memorial in Kurukshetra.

Partition Pain Runs Deep in Haryana, says CM

The Chief Minister said the land of Haryana bore the Partition’s wounds more acutely than most, with many families migrating to Pakistan while a large number of displaced people from erstwhile West Punjab made Haryana their new home. Faridabad itself, he noted, stands as a living testament to that tragedy, having been developed specifically to resettle those who lost their everything during partition. These families arrived with nothing, no homes, no land, no possessions, only courage and determination. However with their hard work, they not only rebuilt their lives but transformed Faridabad into one of Haryana’s leading industrial hubs, he said.

The Chief Minister underlined that memorials dedicated to Partition victims are being established across the state, including an existing site in Badhkal, Faridabad. The upcoming world-class martyrdom memorial at Masana, Kurukshetra, will add to these efforts.

While the day was one of grief and remembrance, the Chief Minister stressed it was also a reminder to safeguard India’s unity and integrity. We must learn from the mistakes that led to such a calamity, he said, warning against the perils of spreading hatred on the basis of religion, caste, or language.

The Chief Minister lauded the Partition survivors for refusing to compromise on their faith, dignity, and patriotism despite severe hardships. He credited their toil for significantly contributing to Haryana’s development.

This day is a call to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood,  he said, urging citizens to build a Haryana and an India rooted in peace, harmony, and unity.

Union Minister Manohar Lal Attacks Congress on Partition Legacy

Addressing the gathering, Union Minister for Power, Housing, and Urban Affairs, Sh. Manohar Lal described Partition as a cataclysm that shook lakhs of lives. He criticised the Congress for failing to honour the martyrs of partition, accusing the party of preferring to ‘forget’ their sacrifices. Targeting the party’s ‘dynastic politics’, he said it began under Indira Gandhi, who imposed the Emergency, ‘killing democracy’.

Hailing Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi’s rise from a humble background and Sh. Nayab Singh Saini’s appointment as Chief Minister as an example of true democracy,  Sh. Manohar Lal said the BJP had become the people’s choice in 2014 as a credible alternative to Congress.

Never forgive or forget those who are responsible for Partition- Union Minister of State for Cooperation

Union Minister of State for Cooperation, Government of India, Sh. Krishan Pal Gurjar, called upon citizens to neither forgive nor forget those responsible for the Partition of India. Speaking at a programme to mark  ‘Vibhajan Vibhishika Smriti Diwas’ (Partition Horrors Remembrance Day), observed nationwide on the eve of Independence Day at the behest of Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, he recalled the “dark night” of August 14, 1947, which he said was triggered by the ambition of Jinnah and Nehru to become Prime Minister and the Muslim League’s insistence on creating a religion-based nation.

The Minister said the decision forced lakhs to abandon their homes, subjected countless women to atrocities, and claimed innumerable innocent lives. He lauded the Prime Minister’s initiative to ensure future generations learn about the tragedy, adding that former Haryana Chief Minister and Union Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal was the first to formally observe the day in Haryana.

Sh. Krishan Pal Gurjar accused the Congress of being “driven by the desire for power then, and even today, alleging that the party is tarnishing the Army’s image globally for political gain. Congress never trusted the people of this country; nor does it trust the elected government, the armed forces, the judiciary, the Constitution, or constitutional bodies,” he remarked.

1947 Partition Among Humanity’s Worst Tragedies- Deputy Speaker

Haryana Vidhan Sabha Deputy Speaker, Dr. Krishan Lal Middha paid solemn tribute to the lakhs who perished during the Partition, describing it as one of the most catastrophic events in human history.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Krishan Lal Middha said that the 1947 Partition claimed the lives of 10 to 12 lakh people, displaced lakhs of families, and saw relatives sacrifice their lives to protect the honour of women, while trains arrived at the borders filled with corpses, he said.

The Deputy  Speaker said the anguish of that time still lingers in the collective memory, blaming the Congress’s ‘power-hungry leadership’ for plunging the country into the fire of Partition. The boundaries drawn, he added, not only divided territory but also ‘split hearts in the name of religion and borders.’

Expressing gratitude to Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi for officially declaring  ‘Vibhajan Vibhishika Smriti Diwas’  from the Red Fort in 2021.

Future generations must know why partition happened – BJP State President

BJP Haryana president, Sh. Mohan Lal Kaushik stressed the importance of educating future generations about the causes and culprits of Partition, which he said subjected countless people to atrocities and claimed innumerable lives. Today, we pay tribute to those martyrs, he said, noting that the Prime Minister’s 14 August observance has allowed the nation to honour their memory 75 years after Independence.

Sh. Mohan Lal Kaushik laid primary responsibility for the Partition on the Congress Party, alleging that it continues to mislead the public even today. He urged that the truth be continually reminded to the youth.

Panchanad Trust’s Effort to Preserve Partition Memories ‘Unparalleled’- Subhash Sudha

He recalled that the Trust began working in 2003 to preserve the memories of victims and resolved to establish a grand museum dedicated to the tragedy.

Sh. Subhash Sudha said that through this memorial, he said, future generations would learn about the suffering and heroism of Partition survivors while being reminded of their duty to the nation. He praised the resilience of ancestors who, despite grave hardship, rebuilt their lives with dignity, never begging for aid but relying on hard work, a legacy he described as “our true identity.

Chandigarh, August 14:

The Punjab Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, on Thursday approved an amendment to the Punjab Cooperative Societies Act, 1961.

A spokesperson from the Chief Minister’s Office disclosed today that the decision was taken during a meeting of the Council of Ministers chaired by the Chief Minister.

As per the decision, the Cabinet approved amendments to the Punjab Cooperative Societies Act, 1961, and the withdrawal of stamp duty and registration fee exemptions for certain classes of cooperative societies. Currently, the Act provides exemptions from compulsory registration, originally intended to facilitate the development of cooperative institutions. However, this provision has enabled property transactions—particularly in urban housing societies—to take place without formal registration or the payment of stamp duty and registration fees.

This situation has encouraged unregistered possession, benami transactions, and other legally risky arrangements. Therefore, an amendment to Section 37 of the Act has been made by adding Clauses 2 and 3. These clauses stipulate that the State Government may, through a notification in the Official Gazette, direct that the exemption under sub-section (1), or any part thereof, shall not apply to certain classes of cooperative societies or specified categories of instruments. Upon the issuance of such a notification, the instruments so notified shall be deemed to fall within the scope of clauses (b) and (c) of sub-section (1) of Section 17 of the Indian Registration Act, 1908, and will accordingly be subject to compulsory registration under that Ac.

Cabinet Approves Creation of “Panchayat Development Secretary” Post

To enhance the development of rural areas through proper execution and supervision, the Cabinet also approved the creation of the post of “Panchayat Development Secretary” by merging the cadres of Panchayat Secretaries and Gram Sevaks (Village Development Officers). Subsequently, a state cadre will be constituted for these posts to accelerate rural development across Punjab.  For existing Panchayat Secretaries, a dying cadre will be created, who will be placed based on their self-declaration letters and as per their seniority, following the existing Gram Sevaks (VDOs) in the seniority list.

Ex-post Facto Approval for Formation of GoM for Crop Procurement

The Cabinet granted ex-post facto approval for the formation of a Group of Ministers (GoM) to ensure the smooth procurement of Kharif and Rabi crops during the procurement seasons. This GoM is chaired by the Agriculture Minister and includes the Ministers for Food & Civil Supplies, Transport, and Water Resources as members.

Ex-post Facto Approval for Cabinet Sub-Committee Formation

The Cabinet also granted ex-post facto approval for the formation of a Cabinet Sub-Committee. This committee will review and consider the recommendations made by the Committee of Officers regarding Parts II and III of the 6th Punjab Pay Commission Report.
