On Teej, Saini announces 131 cultural centres for women in Haryana
Attending a state-level function organised in Ambala on Teej, Saini said that women can hold various programmes at these cultural centres.
He also inaugurated and laid foundation stones for nine developmental projects worth ₹73 crore in Ambala.
Referring to the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign that was launched over 10 years ago, Saini said it has yielded encouraging results. While the sex ratio in 2014 was 871, it has improved to 906 now, he said, adding that the state government is taking forward the campaign strongly.
To give more fillip to this campaign, Saini announced a "Lado Sakhi Yojana". Under this, a 'Lado Sakhi' will be associated with pregnant women to provide personalised support and monitoring.
These Lado Sakhis will be anganwadi workers, Accredited Social Health Activists , and Auxiliary Nurse Midwives, he said.
Saini also praised the state's women for making a mark in the start-up world and talked about the financial assistance provided by the government to support women start-ups.
Haryana Transport, Energy and Labour Minister Anil Vij, who is also the MLA from Ambala Cantonment and attended the event, said that several of the projects inaugurated by the chief minister pertained to the departments he held and promised to put all his might to ensure that they are completed on time.
Pointing to former Ambala city MLA Aseem Goel, Vij said, "Aseem raised many demands pertaining to Ambala city. There are our demands also. But I will not keep them here. I will only say this much, the officials will be told to complete the projects on time."
Vij also praised former chief minister Bansi Lal and said that he was instrumental in bringing a number of development projects to Ambala, including the Saha Industrial Growth Centre.

B'desh immigrants living illegally sent back: Saini
Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said Bangladeshi infiltrators living illegally in the state are being identified and sent back. In a post on X, he also shared a video clip showing illegal immigrants being sent back. 'Bangladeshi infiltrators living illegally in Haryana are being identified and sent back to Bangladesh through the BSF at the West Bengal border,' Saini said. 'Not a single illegal Bangladeshi infiltrator will be allowed to remain on Haryana's soil. Any activity against the country's security and integrity will not be tolerated. Strict action will be taken against anyone who tries to undermine India's unity,' he added. Last month, during a drive in Gurugram to identify illegal immigrants, Saini said there is no place for Bangladeshi infiltrators in Haryana. He also slammed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her 'sympathy towards those who breach the country's security'. Banerjee recently alleged that poor Bangla-speaking workers from West Bengal were being harassed, detained and even pushed into Bangladesh by authorities in certain BJP-ruled states, dubbing the incidents as acts of 'linguistic terror'.

Public service must be top priority for every employee: Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini
Chandigarh: Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini said on Saturday that govt employees are the backbone of the state's administrative machinery and play a pivotal role in driving development. Addressing newly recruited Group-D employees at a state-level 'sammelan' held in Panchkula, he urged them to work with the spirit of "public interest above all" and to function as a team to build a strong, inclusive, and self-reliant Haryana. Extending best wishes to all the newly recruited employees, Saini said a govt job is not just employment but an opportunity to serve the motherland that has given us everything and the society that has shaped our identity. Govt employees are the most crucial link between the people and the administration, he said. Taking a dig at the opposition, Saini recalled that during the assembly elections, a leader from the Opposition promised jobs in exchange for votes. Bids were being placed on jobs. Our govt has taken a firm stand against such practices and has ensured that recruitments are done strictly on the basis of merit, he asserted. "Today, children from economically weaker families are also securing govt jobs and realising their dreams. Earlier, during the tenure of previous govts, the youth were deprived of the desired results of their hard work. But now, jobs are being given purely on the basis of merit," he remarked. He assured employees that the govt remains committed to their training, skill development, and welfare, while promoting a better work culture, modern infrastructure, and digital processes at every level.
