Chandigarh, January 9 – The Haryana Government has deputed Sh.

An order to this effect was issued by the Haryana Chief Secretary.

Chandigarh, January 9 – The Haryana Right to Service (RTS) Commission has directed the Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN), Panchkula to grant a compensation of Rs 3,000 over a delay in providing a notified service to a consumer.

While giving this information here today, a spokesperson of the Commission said Sh. Rajesh Yadav, a resident of Jhajjar district, had approached the Commission regarding replacement of his old meter. After lodging a complaint on July 18, 2024, he received a call from the Nigam that his new meter had arrived and would be replaced within 2-3 days. However, no action was taken in this regard. Instead, the complainant alleged that he received a call from the concerned JE stating that no meter was available in the store and that his meter could not be replaced. From the complainant’s account, it appeared that the JE was seeking illegal gratification, causing delays in the installation of the new meter. The complainant further alleged that the concerned SDO fabricated a document by sending a satisfaction letter purportedly signed by one Sh. Jai Parkash Yadav, who, according to the complainant, was neither a tenant nor an employee at the premises.

The Commission carefully considered all the facts and circumstances of the case. It was only after an appeal was filed with the Commission that the meter was finally replaced on November 26, 2024.

It said for a service that is supposed to be delivered within 3 days in urban areas, it took more than 4 months to provide the same, adding that UHBVN is clearly responsible for this delay. It is neither the concern of the complainant/consumer nor the Commission that meters are unavailable. Once a service has been notified, the UHBVN must take all possible steps to ensure adequate supply of meters in its stores. It has been generally observed that the Material Management (M&M) wings of the power utilities are not ensuring the availability of necessary material in their stores, which causes delays in the delivery of notified service, the Commission observed.

Hence, the Commission, exercising its powers under Section 17(1)(h) of the Haryana Right to Service Act, 2014 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Act’), awarded a compensation of Rs. 3,000 to the consumer, which should be paid by the UHBVN from its funds. The UHBVN is free to recover this amount from the defaulting officials who failed to ensure the availability of LT/CT meters in their stores. This amount should either be adjusted in the consumer’s account by UHBVN or transferred to the consumer’s bank account. The concerned XEN has been directed to send a compliance report of these orders to the Commission by January 25, 2025.

At the same time, a serious issue in this case is the creation of a fake satisfaction letter on behalf of the complainant. The Commission directed the XEN, Bahadurgarh, to investigate the same and submit a report in this matter by January 24, 2025. The XEN has also been directed to confirm whether any LT/CT meters were available in the stores after July 18, 2024. If they were, the XEN should confirm whether the meters were installed according to priority or they were installed at the whims and fancies of the JE, the Commission ordered.

The MDs of both UHBVN and DHBVN have also been told to review the stock situation of their stores and ensure availability of the same for delivery of notified services.

Infrastructure planning has also seen significant advancements through the PM Gati Shakti State Master Plan (SMP) Portal. Haryana has mandated that all infrastructure projects exceeding Rs 100 crore be planned through this portal, ensuring better coordination and timely execution of key initiatives.

Strategically located adjacent to the National Capital Region (NCR), Haryana has leveraged its geographical proximity to become a crucial hub in North India’s logistics and warehousing sector. This location advantage has attracted substantial investments and positioned the state as a major player in the logistics space.

The state has also embraced sustainability in its logistics sector. Haryana has introduced green logistics initiatives, such as the promotion of electric vehicles (EVs) for freight transport. Additionally, it has implemented progressive policies, including the Electric Vehicle Policy 2022 and the Vehicle Scrappage & Recycling Facility Incentive Policy 2024, to ensure a cleaner and more sustainable logistics ecosystem.

To further strengthen its logistics sector, Haryana has focused on building a skilled workforce. The state has formed partnerships with private sector entities and educational institutions to enhance logistics training and livelihood opportunities. In line with its commitment to gender inclusivity, Haryana has actively promoted women’s participation in the logistics sector, ensuring equal employment opportunities for all.

Haryana is committed to reduce the logistics cost by adopting a logistics cost framework to maximize efficiency and propel the state’s economic growth.

Out of the total criminals arrested in 2024, 70% (3555 criminals) are from other states. On an average, 14 cyber criminals were arrested daily by the Haryana Police in 2024.

Proactive Measures and a Planned System: Effective efforts are being made by the Haryana Police to return the amount blocked from the cybercriminals to the victim’s account. As a result of the Haryana Police’s significant efforts, 33 crore was refunded to cyber fraud victims in 2023, which was increased to ₹95 crore 45 lakh 14359 (almost three times) by November 2024. All 29 cyber police stations in the state have been instructed to refund get the money back to the victims through Lok Adalat, so that people do not have to go to courts to get the money. The Hon’ble Punjab and Haryana High Court on the request of Haryana Police has issued orders to all District and Session courts to abolish the requirement of filing an FIR to refund, so that the fraudulent amount can be refunded without any delay.

The work done by the Haryana Police to control cybercrime is being appreciated across the country. Senior cyber police officers from the central government and various states are visiting to see the cyber security system of the Haryana Police. In 2024, the team of the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Center (I4C) of the Government of India, along with Google and other fintech companies, visited the Haryana Police’s Cyber Helpline-1930 and appreciated its functioning. Along with this, the cyber teams of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Delhi also studied the work of cyber security of the Haryana Police and expressed their interest to implement the best practices here in their respective states.

Strategic Partnership and Cooperation, the Key to Success: Mr. Kapur said that in this era of technology, cybercrime is a major challenge for the entire country. To tackle this problem, the Haryana Police has strengthened the cyber security system and also carried out system reforms. A strategy has been developed to prevent cybercrime by carefully studying the methods adopted by cybercriminals. In September 2023, the number of technically skilled police personnel deployed on the cyber helpline 1930 was increased from 12 to 70. In the same vein, meetings were held with representatives of banks and they were motivated to work with the Haryana Police. As a result, today 15 nodal officers of 10 major banks are working together on a platform to prevent cybercrime.

Remarkable Work, Excellent Results: As a result of the work done by the Haryana Police to control cybercrime, the rate of the amount blocked in cyber fraud and the recovery being made by cyber police stations, which was 7% in September 2023, increased to 36% in December 2024, which is the highest in the country. Not only this, if a complainant files a complaint within 6 hours of cyber fraud, 70% of the cheated amount is being blocked, which is the highest in the entire country. Haryana Police was at the 23rd position in the country in terms of the rate of the amount blocked in cyber fraud till September 2023, but now it has reached the first position. For this achievement and the efficient implementation of the Cyber Helpline 1930, the Union Home Minister, Amit Shah, Government of India, Amit Shah, also honored the Haryana Police on September 10, 2024.

Farsighted Leadership and Infrastructure Growth: Along with this, 4 police personnel of the Haryana Police have been deployed in the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Center (I4C) of the Government of India, where significant steps are being taken to prevent cybercrime in collaboration with 20 major banks and fintech companies across the country. In 2024, 2,83,589 bank accounts and 1,24,565 mobile numbers used in cyber fraud have been closed, which is the highest in the country.

Haryana Police Appeal on Cyber Security: Mr. Kapur appealed to the common people that in this era of technology, when most people are active on online platforms. If anyone calls themselves a CBI, ED or a police officer and talks about digital arrest, then be alert immediately as no agency does digital arrest. Also, people should not fall prey to fake share trading scams circulating on social media platforms. Before investing, be sure to verify the company or website officially. Also, people should not pick up WhatsApp video and audio calls from foreign countries’ numbers, especially Cambodia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, etc. People should be wary of fake advertisements appearing on Telegram and Google. The Haryana Police is continuously running awareness campaigns on print and social media to make the people of the state aware of the methods adopted by cybercriminals. So far, a total of 2 crore 27 lakh people have been made aware of cyber security measures. The only way to prevent cybercrime is caution and vigilance, so people should be careful and contact the helpline number 1930 immediately if they suspect cybercrime.
