In the last 8 years,  as many as 48 corrupt, non-performing officers and employees had to face the flak of the zero-tolerance policy against corruption adopted by the Manohar Lal-led government.  

In the last eight years, the Manohar Sarkar, while following the footsteps of the Central Government, has terminated these officers/employees in the age group of 50 to 55 years in the last 8 years.   

Meanwhile, afraid of meeting the same fate as those involved in corrupt practices, some of the employees who were negligent in performing their duties, making fake certificates, etc even took premature retirement.  

The list of such officers and employees includes Assistant Professor, Sub Inspector, Horticulture Development Officer, Industrial Extension Officer, Naib Tehsildar, DRO, Supervisor, Manager, Resident Audit Officer, Junior Auditor, Assistant Registrar, Deputy Engineer, Clerk, Assistant, Havaldar, Peon, Godown Keeper, etc. Officers and employees are included.  

These employees were working in the offices of various departments, boards, and corporations of the Government of Haryana.  

The Chief Minister said that the government keeps evaluating the performance of officers and employees from time to time. After reviewing the service records, the employees who work honestly are honored, while the action is taken against the non-performing ones.  

“We aim to make the governance system transparent. The state government is moving forward on the basic principle of minimum government and maximum governance. Corruption has no place in such a system. Efforts are being made to completely curb corruption in the state,” says Sh. Manohar Lal.        

Significantly, as per the government rules,  the services of officers or employees who do not work properly can be terminated at the age of 50-55 years or after 20 years of service. But the previous governments did not strictly implement these rules, because of which even the officers and employees who were unfit for the job continued to work.  

Till the year 2014, when only 32 people were shown the doors, the year 2014, the Haryana government under the leadership of Sh. Manohar Lal implemented these rules strictly in the public interest, as a result of which 48 government employees were shown the doors. 

Haryana under the leadership of Sh. Manohar Lal is constantly working on the policy of zero tolerance against corruption while establishing a transparent system in the state.  

While in past also strict decisions have been taken by the government against the employees and officers involved in such corrupt practices.

 Former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda has said that every Congress worker is fully prepared for the 2024 elections and people have made up their mind to bring back the Congress government in the state and this was visible in the historic support received by Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra in Haryana.Addressing a press conference after participating in many social and religious programs in Rohtak, Hooda said the people of the state had already made up their mind on bringing back the Congress. Answering question regarding BJP’s preparations for the elections, Hooda said that the public is gearing up to defeat BJP and JJP. “Today there is a lot of problems before the people. Congress will go to people on issues like corruption, unemployment, inflation, increasing crime and drugs,” he said.Hooda reiterated the demand for an impartial inquiry into the allegations levelled by the wrestlers against the Wrestling Association and its president. He said that the wrestling body president has unnecessarily tried to drag his and Deepender’s name in the whole matter. He said he is consulting lawyers in this regard so that a defamation case can be filed against the Wrestling Association President. He said sportspersons are the pride of our country and they should get justice. “There should be a fair inquiry into the allegations levelled against the Sports Minister of Haryana. For this, it is necessary that the Sports Minister resigns from his post,” he stated.Supporting the demands of the sugarcane farmers, once again the former Chief Minister reiterated that the government should accept their demand. “The farmers are demanding a rate of ₹450 per quintal. The government should at least give the farmers of Haryana the same rate as that of Punjab,” he said and added that during the Congress government, there was a record increase of 165% in the rate of sugarcane, while during the BJP regime it was increased by only 17%. BJP and JJP stand nowhere in front of Congress in the matter of increasing the rate of sugarcane.Hooda also stated that he stood with the sarpanches opposing e-tendering. He said the government should trust the elected representatives and give them a chance to get the development work done in the village. “The government should leave the obstinate attitude and rid the sarpanches from the web of e-tendering,” he said.Explaining about the Hath Se Jodo Hath program of the Congress, the Leader of the Opposition said that the party meeting is going to be held on the January 25th. “Haryana Congress will leave no stone unturned to make this program a success. Like Bharat Jodo Yatra, this program will also get historical support in Haryana,” he stated.

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar today assured the delegation of farmers who came to meet him at his residence, Sant Kabir Kutir, that the state government would soon take a decision in the best public interest.

The government has constituted a committee to fix the price of sugarcane.  The decision will be taken by the committee keeping in view all the points raised by the farmers including cost and recovery of sugar, price of sugarcane in neighbouring states, and other important demands of the farmers, said Sh. Manohar Lal. 

        Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister, Sh. J.P. Dalal also remained present on this occasion.

        He urged the farmers not to adopt the agitation way as the closure of sugar mills is neither in the interest of the farmers nor of the mills.  

        “Let the sugar mills run smoothly as the closing of mills is not going to benefit anyone,” said Chief Minister. 

He called upon the farmers not to get misled by anyone in any way.  Farmer brothers should take a wise decision and let the mills run smoothly, he asserted. 

“The state government has always stood shoulder to shoulder with the farmers.  In the last 8 years, we have continuously started new schemes in the interest of farmers.  The committee constituted by the state government will look into the demands of the sugarcane farmers and take appropriate decision, which will be beneficial for all in the long run,” said the Chief Minister. 

        Additional Chief Secretary,  Agriculture, and the Farmers’ Welfare Department, Dr. Sumita Misra, the delegation of farmers’ representatives, and other officers remained present in the meeting.
