State Government Fully Alert for Monsoon Challenges, ‘Deen Dayal Lado Lakshmi Yojana’ Portal to Launch on September 25: CM Nayab Singh Saini

Chandigarh, August 31 – Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said the state government and administration are fully alert to tackle challenges arising from the monsoon season and are prepared for every situation to ensure the safety of citizens. He appealed to the public to exercise caution, particularly by avoiding travel to hilly areas.

The CM was addressing media persons at Dronacharya Sports Stadium in Kurukshetra, where he also played volleyball with athletes.

Taking on the opposition, Saini said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has raised India’s honor globally and worked for the welfare of the poor, which the opposition cannot digest. He criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on Bihar, calling them inappropriate and demanding an apology to the nation.

Saini urged the opposition to showcase its own developmental work during its tenure instead of questioning the EVMs. He emphasized that under PM Modi’s leadership, India has witnessed unprecedented development over the last 11 years, gaining global recognition.

Responding to queries, the CM said that while war inevitably leads to loss of life and property, India’s leadership is strong enough to handle any situation. He highlighted India’s improving GDP and rapid progress in infrastructure, including highways, railways, and universities.

‘Deen Dayal Lado Lakshmi Yojana’ Portal to Launch on September 25
CM Saini announced that fulfilling a key poll promise, the state government has allocated ₹5,000 crore in the budget to provide ₹2,100 monthly assistance to women under the Deen Dayal Lado Lakshmi Yojana. The portal for applications will be launched on September 25, on the birth anniversary of Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay. In the first phase, 20 lakh women will benefit, with further phases planned later. He accused Congress governments of failing to implement similar schemes for women in their states.

‘Seva Pakhwada’ from PM Modi’s Birthday
The CM further announced that starting September 17, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday, a Seva Pakhwada will be launched, dedicated to serving the poor, needy, and differently-abled. The campaign, involving welfare societies, traders, and other institutions, will continue until October 2, Gandhi Jayanti. He appealed to citizens to integrate the spirit of service into their daily lives.

Former Minister Subhash Sudha, Ambala Commissioner Sanjeev Verma, and other dignitaries were present on the occasion.
