Chandigarh: Haryana has accelerated its deregulation and compliance-reduction drive, pushing a series of reforms aimed at cutting red tape, eliminating duplicate approvals and speeding up services for citizens, entrepreneurs and investors, Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi said.
Healthcare has emerged as a key pillar of the deregulation push, with Haryana moving to simplify registration and NOC requirements for medical practitioners and create a single nodal mechanism for healthcare-specific licences.
The state has also moved to liberalise regulations governing shops and commercial establishments. Registration under the Haryana Shops and Commercial Establishments framework is already a one-time registration, while further measures aimed at simplifying compliance and facilitating businesses are being pursued.
To address infrastructure gaps in older industrial areas, the government has proposed a Rs 500-crore SAKSHAM fund for infrastructure upgradation. HSIIDC has also issued a new policy for common firefighting infrastructure.
The Chief Secretary said Haryana would continue to pursue the pending measures in a time-bound manner, with the larger objective of reducing compliance burden, improving service delivery and creating a more facilitative environment for businesses and citizens.
