Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda today said, the state government was committed to provide equitable share of water to all parts of the state.
Hooda made this announcement at a rally organised at Anaj Mandi, Ateli in Mahendergarh today.
In view of the scarcity of water in south Haryana, the state government has already prepared the scheme of constructing a canal for bringing water from Bhakhra to this area, he said.
A sum of about Rs 400 crore has been spent on this project, he said.
Hooda declared that Kanina will be made a sub-division and Ateli will get the status of tehsil and announced Rs 10 crore for the development of villages in Ateli constituency and Rs 2 crore each for the Municipal Committees of Ateli and Kanina.
He also announced that five major roads in this area will be improved at a cost of Rs 43.55 crore.
Referring to other demands, Hooda added that a 50-bedded hospital will be constructed in Kanina, on availability of land.
