• Chandigarh, February 12: Haryana Chief Minister, Mr. Manohar Lal  said that the upcoming state’s budget for the year 2021-2022 would focus on Education, Health Security, Employment  and Self-Reliance in which all sections of the society will be taken care of.

• While responding to the media queries, Chief Minister said that like last year, this time too, the State budget would be prepared and presented after holding discussions and seeking suggestions from all stakeholders, MLAs and MPs.
• “As due to global Pandemic COVID-19,  this time no physical meeting has been held, therefore the stakeholders, MLAs and MPs have been asked to send their suggestions in writing to the State Government by February 20, 2021. Their valuable suggestions will be incorporated in the budget,” said the Chief Minister.

• The Chief Minister said that the State Government is going to make a rule in which development fee for a plot will be levied only once. If the plot owner receives a notice from the Municipal Corporation or Municipality to pay the development fee again, then he would  have to show the receipt of the development fee filled earlier therefore he will not have to pay the charges again.
• Responding to another question, the Chief Minister said that the State Government had banned registry of less than one acre of agricultural land.  Now a provision will be made in which agricultural land will be identified separately and the collector rate on its registry would also be charged on the same collector rate fixed for the agricultural sector.
