Under this, a committee will be formed with arhtiyas as part of it. Some amount will be made available to the committee from the market fees, so that the committee can get the works of the market done at its own level.

The Chief Minister was addressing the ‘Vyapari Sammelan’ organized at Kaithal through video conferencing here today. HAFED Chairman, Sh. Kailash Bhagat, MLA Sh. Subhash Sudha and other dignitaries were present in the programme.

Market fee, HRDF rate will be done outright in vegetable market

The bill to amend the rules related to this has been passed by the Vidhan Sabha. At present, the rate of two percent market fee and two percent HRDF is applicable. Considering the demand of the arhtiyas, the government has decided to do it outright, he added.

He said that shops in Kaithal’s Transport Nagar were sold to traders as per the policy by the Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran; however today traders are not able to sell their shops further due to some terms and conditions in the policy. “Realizing the difficulty of the traders, the government has decided that a new policy will be formulated for such traders and they will be given relaxation in the rules, so that they will be able to sell their shops,” he added.

Government warehouses will be shifted out of the city

The Chief Minister said that a policy is also being formulated to shift government warehouses built in cities across the state, outside the city. He also announced the extension of the ‘Vivadon ka Samadhan’ Yojana for a period of one year to settle the ongoing disputes related to shops in mandis.

He said that the state government has already announced to give 1.25 percent handling charges to the arhtiyas on the purchase of crops done by NAFED. “If still there is any difficulty, this decision will be implemented after taking up the matter with NAFED. The handling charges will definitely be given to the arhtiyas,” he added.

Traders backbone of economy, government running various schemes for their welfare

The Chief Minister said that the traders are the backbone of the economy. Under the leadership of Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, the Central Government has launched various schemes for the welfare of traders. “The present state government is also committed to the welfare of the traders.

Our government ended Inspector Raj, CM

Sh. Manohar Lal said that during the tenure of the previous government, traders used to face a lot of trouble. “But our government did the work of ending the Inspector Raj. The state government has formulated several policies to create a business environment in the state,” he said.
