Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar Sunday said the state government is planning to launch a pension scheme for unmarried people in the 45-60 age group in the state very soon. He also said the government will hike the elderly pension in the state to Rs3000 per month with next six months.
“The government will take a decision regarding the scheme within a month,” Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said while addressing a ‘Jan Samvad’ programme at Kalampura village in Karnal.
While responding to a 60-year-old unmarried man’s pension-related complaint during the ‘Jan Samvad’, the chief minister said the government is planning to introduce a new pension scheme.
The chief minister directed the deputy commissioner of Karnal to provide Internet connectivity to all villages in the district.
“In today’s time, 70 per cent to 80 per cent work is done online and that is why it is necessary to have Internet service in villages. Karnal will be the first district where BSNL Internet service will be available in every village,” the chief minister said.
Khattar planted saplings on the premises of the community centre. He also announced the construction of a Sanskriti Model School in the Kalampura village.
He directed the officers concerned to construct a new building for the government school and a road from Kachhwa to Kalampura within two months.
