Chandigarh: Haryana Development and Panchayats Minister, Krishan Lal Panwar, on Wednesday, reviewed the progress of various development projects in Panipat district during a meeting with officers at the Deputy Commissioner’s office in the District Secretariat. He directed all departments to ensure timely completion of projects while maintaining high quality standards.
The Minister said the Haryana Government is fully committed to equipping rural areas with modern infrastructure and warned that any negligence in development works would not be tolerated.
During the meeting Krishan Lal Panwar said that a state-of-the-art residential township will be developed over more than 35 acres in Jondhan Khurd village, for which the government has already granted approval. The township will be developed with planned urban infrastructure and modern civic amenities.
Deputy Commissioner, Dr. Harish Kumar Vashisth said the district administration is implementing all government development schemes with complete transparency and seriousness. He assured that every direction issued during the meeting would be implemented within the stipulated timeline.
The Cabinet Minister said that once completed, Jondhan Khurd will evolve into a modern mini city, offering well-planned roads, an efficient drainage system, parks, street lighting, a clean environment and other essential urban amenities. He reiterated that the Haryana Government is consistently working to make villages self-reliant and well-equipped with modern facilities.
Krishan Lal Panwar informed that over 350 indoor gyms have already been established across Haryana. The government is focusing on providing better sports and health infrastructure for youth while simultaneously promoting the establishment of libraries, Mahila Sanskritik Kendras and modern Vyayamshalas in villages to encourage education, sports and cultural activities.
Acting on demands raised by the Gram Panchayat of Jondhan Khurd, the Cabinet Minister directed officers to construct a community centre, pave the village phirni and renovate the general chaupal.
Emphasising rural infrastructure development, Panwar said expanding basic civic facilities in villages remains one of the government’s highest priorities. He directed officers to conduct regular inspections of stadiums and gymnasiums in Matlauda and Panipat and ensure immediate corrective measures wherever deficiencies or irregularities are found.
Highlighting the importance of sanitation, the Minister said the Haryana Government is committed to building clean and healthy villages. He said that the decision to provide honorarium to village sarpanches is part of the government’s broader strategy to strengthen sanitation management. He added that Panchayats have been given adequate financial powers to accelerate development works at the grassroots level.
Krishan Lal Panwar also said that Union Minister Manohar Lal’s efforts have given fresh momentum to development works in Naultha and Matlauda. Work on expanding civic infrastructure in Naultha has already begun, and long-pending projects in the area will now be completed on priority.
The Minister said that the State Government’s objective is not merely to launch development projects but to complete them on time with the highest quality standards. He said that connecting rural areas with modern infrastructure and making them self-reliant remains our top priority. The upcoming residential township in Jondhan Khurd will transform both the image and the future of the village. In the coming years, it will establish itself as a modern mini city. The government remains committed to development, transparency and public welfare, while ensuring that every pending project is completed on priority, said the Minister.
