Faridabad, April 4 — Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, while addressing the Dhanyavaad Evam Viksit Faridabad Rally held in Faridabad on Saturday, said that over the past 11.5 years, unprecedented work has been carried out in Faridabad in the fields of infrastructure, connectivity, industry, Smart City development, metro expansion and digital services. Continuing this momentum, the Chief Minister laid the foundation stone for four major development projects worth ₹120.76 crore to further accelerate the city’s holistic development.

These projects include construction of a rest house at a cost of ₹50.61 crore, construction of a dispensary-cum-CMO office at ₹41.70 crore, laying of sewerage lines in various areas at ₹25 crore, and construction of a school building in Old Faridabad at ₹3.45 crore.

The Chief Minister said the government is committed to making Faridabad one of the cleanest cities in the country. In this direction, the Chief Minister unveiled a cleanliness mascot and a cleanliness comic and appealed to citizens to actively participate in the cleanliness drive.

Fast-Tracking CM Announcements and Manifesto Commitments

The Chief Minister stated that 44 CM announcements have been made in this area over the past 11.5 years, out of which 24 have been completed, while work on the remaining is progressing rapidly. He emphasized that the government delivers on its promises, citing that 60 out of 217 manifesto commitments have been fulfilled within one and a half years, with work ongoing on the rest.

He said that the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 by Prime Minister  Narendra Modi is being realized in Haryana through ‘Viksit Haryana’. The double-engine government has implemented the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas’ on the ground.

Adequate Stock of Fuel and Gas Available

The Chief Minister said that when the government focuses on development and public welfare, some opposition leaders attempt to spread misinformation and indulge in politics based on false promises. He expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister for reducing excise duty on petroleum products to provide relief to the public. He said even during global challenges, some opposition leaders try to create confusion among people, whereas the government is working sensitively to safeguard public interests.

The Chief Minister clarified that there is no shortage of petrol, diesel, or LPG in Haryana, and adequate stock is available at all 4,032 petrol pumps and gas agencies in the state. He urged people not to pay attention to rumours and avoid panic buying.

Welfare Schemes Benefiting Every Section

Highlighting various welfare schemes, the Chief Minister said that initiatives such as Deendayal Lado Laxmi Yojana, gas cylinders at ₹500, MSP-based crop procurement, crop compensation, Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi, social security pensions, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Ayushman Bharat-Chirayu Yojana, free dialysis, and government jobs without “parchi-kharchi” are benefiting all sections of society.

He added that the Budget 2026–27 also includes several major decisions for farmers, women, youth, workers, and the poor. These include Haryana Agri-Discom, an increase in minimum wages, creation of 3 lakh Lakhpati Didis, 4,000 new ration depots, 20% reservation for Agniveers, and new plot allotments under the Mukhyamantri Shehri Awas Yojana.

The Chief Minister said that ‘Viksit Faridabad’ is not just a dream but a comprehensive vision ensuring better education, healthcare, employment, and improved quality of life for every citizen. He assured that Faridabad’s development will not stop at any cost and that no effort will be spared for the region’s overall progress.

Union Minister Krishan Pal Gurjar Highlights Achievements

On this occasion, Union Minister of State for Cooperation  Krishan Pal Gurjar said that before 2014, Faridabad had not witnessed significant development. However, the unprecedented development over the past 12 years is now clearly visible to people across the country and the state.

He said that earlier governments could not ensure adequate power supply, whereas now uninterrupted 24-hour electricity is being provided in both villages and cities. During the Congress government’s tenure, only 500 km of highways were built in Haryana, whereas in the past 12 years, this has increased to 5,000 km.
He added that Haryana has made remarkable progress in water, education, healthcare, and infrastructure. Projects like elevated expressways, hospitals, colleges, and modernization of railway stations have transformed Faridabad.

’Viksit Faridabad’ Vision Turning into Reality

Rally convener and Haryana Cabinet Minister  Vipul Goel said that ‘Viksit Faridabad’ is no longer just a dream but is rapidly becoming a reality. The Chief Minister has given top priority to Faridabad in budget allocations and development plans, accelerating its growth.

He said that once Faridabad becomes part of the international global corridor, the distance to Jewar Airport will be reduced to just 30 minutes from the current two hours. Efforts are also being made to reduce travel time between Faridabad, Gurugram, and Noida through the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS).

Goel said that the Chief Minister has resolved to make Faridabad flood-free, and efforts in this direction are progressing swiftly. Faridabad is now moving towards becoming Haryana’s new international city.

He further stated that in a recent FMDA meeting, development works worth ₹985 crore were approved for Faridabad, for which he expressed gratitude to the Chief Minister. He also placed several key demands related to Faridabad’s development before him.

On this occasion, BJP State President  Mohan Lal Badoli, Minister of State  Rajesh Nagar, Gaurav Gautam, MLAs  Mool Chand Sharma, Satish Fagna, Dhanesh Adlakha, and  Harinder Singh were also present.
