Haryana: ₹76cr disbursed to 2020 poor families under ‘Dayalu' scheme, says CM Saini
Saini said a sensitive government must act as the head of the family, offering support in times of adversity.
'Launched on April 1, 2023, the Dayalu scheme provided financial security to families with an annual income of up to ₹1.80 lakh. It extends coverage to individuals aged between 6 and 60 years, ensuring up to ₹5 lakh assistance in case of an untimely death or permanent disability of a family member. Since its inception, the scheme has become a crucial safety net for the state's poorest households,' the chief minister said, adding that 36,651 families have so far collectively received assistance worth ₹1,380 crore.
The CM also reiterated that the state government has zero tolerance towards criminal activities affecting the law and order situation in the state.
He said that the state government is taking strict action against drug traffickers. 'If drugs are being sold anywhere, residents should file a complaint on the government portal. Prompt action will be taken against the culprits and identity of the informer will be kept confidential,' the CM said, adding that state-of-the-art infrastructure is being provided in government hospitals and 10 new district hospitals will be inaugurated soon.

Bhiwani teacher death case: Haryana govt to hand over probe to CBI; third autopsy conducted at AIIMS
The death caused massive outrage, with people earlier blocking roads in the district, and the opposition parties, including the Congress, demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe. Heavy police had been deployed around the village. Earlier, there had been calls in the woman's village for an indefinite protest if the probe is not handed over to the premier investigating agency. Chandigarh, Aug 20 (PTI) The Haryana government is going to hand over the probe into the death of a 19-year-old teacher in Bhiwani last week to the CBI following public outrage and her last rites will be held on Thursday after a third autopsy was conducted at AIIMS, Delhi. Manisha's body was found in a field in Bhiwani on August 13. She had gone missing on August 11 after leaving the school, purportedly to enquire about admission at a nursing college. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday said, 'The state government and the police administration are working with full seriousness and transparency to ensure justice for our daughter Manisha from Bhiwani and her family,' and added that he has been continuously seeking updates about the case. 'Based on the family's demand, the Haryana government is going to hand over this case to the CBI for an impartial investigation. Full justice will be ensured in this matter,' Saini posted on X in Hindi on Wednesday. A senior police officer said that the district authorities sent Manisha's body to AIIMS, New Delhi, where a third autopsy was conducted. Earlier, the post-mortem examinations had been conducted at the Bhiwani Civil Hospital and the PGIMS hospital in Rohtak. The residents, who had been sitting on a protest in the woman's native village Dhani Laxman in Bhiwani, had formed a committee to spearhead their dharna. They had urged the government for a probe by the CBI and an autopsy of the deceased at AIIMS, Delhi. On Tuesday, the residents said their protest would continue indefinitely till their demands were met. After the demand was accepted, the dharna was lifted and the last rites of the deceased would be held in Bhiwani on Thursday. Speaking to reporters in Bhiwani on Wednesday, BKU (Charuni) chief Gurnam Singh Charuni said the post-mortem was conducted at AIIMS, Delhi and the government also agreed to another demand by deciding to hand over the probe to the CBI. 'The family has expressed satisfaction and now Manisha's last rites will be held on Thursday,' Charuni said. On Wednesday, Haryana State Commission for Women chairperson Renu Bhatia also reached Bhiwani. She said after Manisha's body was found, she had been taking regular updates from the police concerning the case. Bhatia said that she assured the family that the Women's Commission stands with the family in this case and it will be investigated from every aspect. Earlier, the Haryana government had ordered the suspension of mobile internet, bulk SMS and dongle services in Bhiwani and Charkhi Dadri districts for 48 hours from 11 am on Tuesday amid public outrage over the death of the teacher. On Monday, police claimed that the investigations pointed to the teenager dying by suicide by ingesting poison. However, her father, Sanjay, on Tuesday rejected the finding and refused to cremate the body, demanding 'justice'. 'The administration is saying that my daughter committed suicide, but I can say that she can never commit suicide. I want justice,' he said. While protests over the teacher's death raged on and politicians waded into the matter, alleging breakdown of law and order, the emergence of a 'suicide note' in the death case on Monday turned the investigation on its head. Bhiwani Superintendent of Police Sumit Kumar had earlier said the purported note was found near Manisha's body in a bag, which also had her Aadhaar card and other documents. He also said that there was proof of Manisha buying insecticide. 'In the viscera sample, the presence of insecticide has been confirmed in the body. So, there is self-purchase, there is a suicide note, there is poison in the body,' he had said. Police also said that the two post-mortem reports, which were conducted in Bhiwani and Rohtak, had ruled out the possibility of any sexual assault. However, the villagers had questioned the latest findings and continued to block a key road in Bhiwani in protest. They had said Manisha's cremation would not take place till 'justice' was done. The opposition parties flayed the BJP-led state government, claiming that the alleged murder was proof of a 'breakdown of law and order' under the saffron party. Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda said the role of the state government and the police had been 'negligent and irresponsible', and an 'unfortunate attempt is being made to prove the whole case as a suicide'.

Haryana hands over probe into Bhiwani playschool teacher's death to CBI
The Haryana government has decided to hand over the probe into the death of a 19-year-old playschool teacher from Bhiwani district to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Amid widespread protests over her death, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday announced the decision on social media platform X. 'Based on the family's demand, the Haryana government is handing over the case to the CBI for an impartial investigation. Complete justice will be ensured in this case,' he stated. He further added, 'To ensure justice for our daughter from Bhiwani and her family, the state government and police administration are working with full seriousness and transparency. I am personally monitoring the case and receiving regular updates.' According to the family, the 19-year-old had left home on August 11 to visit a nursing college in Singhani to inquire about admission. When she did not return by evening, her father contacted the police through Dial-112, Haryana's emergency response system. Family members allege that police accompanied them to the college but only questioned three intoxicated men who claimed they had not seen her and that the college had closed at 1 pm. Her body was discovered in a field in Bhiwani's Singhani village on August 13. Earlier, villagers from Dhani Laxman had refused to allow the woman's cremation until those responsible for her alleged 'murder' were arrested. They had also demanded a CBI probe, expressing dissatisfaction with the Haryana Police's investigation, which pointed to a possible suicide. In response to growing unrest, heavy police force had been deployed in the area, and internet services were suspended in Bhiwani and Charkhi Dadri districts for two days, starting Tuesday. Former village sarpanch Atma Ram said, 'Not only our villagers, but people from neighbouring villages also gathered on Tuesday morning to oppose any attempt to cremate her.' He criticized the police response, stating, 'From the beginning, the police failed to conduct a swift and fair investigation.' He added, 'Instead of returning empty-handed, the police should have insisted on entering the college and conducting a thorough search. Had they done so, they might have found a clue.' Villagers have alleged that the suicide theory was being promoted to calm public outrage, especially among students who have staged protests across the state.
