This third unit, spread across 233 acres, involves an investment of Rs 8,469 crore.

In line with this mission, the foundation stone of a Compressed Biogas Plant will be laid in Mukarbpur, within the Yamunanagar-Jagadhari Municipal Corporation area. Developed in collaboration with BPCL at a cost of  Rs 90 crore, the plant will have an annual production capacity of 2,600 metric tonnes and is slated for completion by 2027. This initiative will help in effective organic waste management while contributing to clean energy production and environmental conservation.

Hisar Airport to Strengthen Regional Connectivity

The Prime Minister will also inaugurate air services from Maharaja Agrasen Airport, Hisar. In a moment of pride, he will flag off the first flight to Ayodhya. With scheduled flights from Hisar to Ayodhya (twice weekly), three flights in a week to Jammu, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Chandigarh, this development marks a significant leap in Haryana’s aviation connectivity. Additionally, the foundation stone for Phase II of the airport will be laid on the same day.

He said today is a day of pride and glory for all of us. We all know that Hanuman Ji selflessly served Lord Shri Ram as a servant. When Laxman fell unconscious during the battle between Laxman and Meghnath, at that time Hanuman Ji brought Sanjivani booti and gave him life.

He said for years, there was a legal dispute going on in Ayodhya regarding Ram Janmabhoomi, which was resolved through legal process and under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh.

Under the leadership of the Prime Minister, religious places are being renovated while preserving our ancient culture and heritage.

The Chief Minister said in the last 10 years, under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, the government has worked to restore our ancient culture and heritage which is disappearing. The corridor of Lord Kashi Vishwanath, Shri Mahakaleshwar Temple Corridor in Ujjain, crores of people taking a holy dip in Prayagraj Maha Kumbh, renovation of Shri Kedarnath Dham in Uttarakhand and opening of Kartarpur Sahib Corridor in Pakistan are prominent. Similarly, the Haryana Government has also renovated many pilgrimage sites on the holy land of Kurukshetra, where Lord Shri Krishna gave the message of Shrimad Bhagavad Gita.

He said the present government is continuously working in accordance with the vision of great men and following the path shown by them, keeping in mind the welfare of the poor. Under the Ayushman Card Scheme, the needy people have been provided the facility of free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh. In Haryana also, under the Ayushman/Chirayu Card Scheme, about 20 lakh people have been given the benefit and an amount of Rs 2200 crore has been spent under the scheme.

He said under the leadership of the Prime Minister, work has been done to provide housing facilities to 4 crore people in the country. At the same time, in Haryana also, work is being done to identify the needy persons and provide housing facilities as per the scheme.

Chandigarh, April 12

Haryana Industry and Commerce, Environment, Forest and Wild Life Minister Rao Narbir Singh said that environmental pollution has become a serious problem not just for Gurugram but for the entire country. The government alone cannot control pollution; it needs the active participation of the public as well.

Rao Narbir was addressing dental experts and students from across India as the Chief Guest at the 27th PG Convention of the Indian Prosthodontic Society (IPS) held at the SGT University in Gurugram on Saturday. He congratulated the organising committee and all the participants, and encouraged students to make the most of the academic opportunities at the convention.

During his address, he appealed  to the youth and the general public to take two important pledges for environmental protection: first, stop using polythene; and second, avoid sending wedding cards as thousands of trees have to be cut to make such cards. He said that plastic bags take around 400 years to decompose. If burnt, they harm oxygen in the air; if dumped in the ground, they stay for centuries and block sewage systems. Further citing Prime Minister, Sh.Narendra Modi’s campaign “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam,” the Minister said that everyone should plant at least one tree for themselves and one for future generations.

He appreciated SGT University for its efforts in environmental conservation. He also congratulated SGT University and dental experts from all over the country for the convention of Indian Prosthodontic Society (IPS).
