Firstly, the CM paid floral tribute to the martyrs at the war memorial. He inspected the parade by contingents of the Haryana Police, Home Guard, NCC Battalion and Scouts. “I am proud of being called as ‘government of portals’. During our tenure, we have launched more than 100 apps and portals that have ensured transparency in the distribution of benefits of schemes and services,” said Khattar.

The CM said with the help of a single document, Parivar Pehchan Patra, now the eligible persons were getting the benefits of all schemes and services while sitting at home. He said their government had made a strong attack on 3Cs — corruption, casteism and crime.

Apart from this, 204 sportspersons have been given government jobs,” shared the Chief Minister.

“Now, for planting 400 trees per acre in place of paddy, the farmer is being given an incentive of Rs 10,000 per acre per year for three years,” said Khattar.
