Chandigarh, December 10- With a view to bringing uniformity, transparency and avoiding any major gap between the market price and collector rates of properties, the Haryana Government has decided to revise the collector rates both in urban and rural areas, twice in a financial year.
This was disclosed by the Chief Minister, Mr Manohar Lal, while speaking as Chief Guest at the concluding session of the two-day national meet of the Confederation of Newspaper and News Agency Employees Organizations, here today.
A committee has been constituted under chairmanship of the deputy commissioner concerned for this purpose. The collector rates fixed by respective DCs would be uploaded on the website for inviting suggestions and objections, and, after considering these, the collector rates would be finalized, he added.
Mr Manohar Lal said that three years ago, when he had taken over the reins of the administration in the state, he had resolved to put an end to corruption by adopting zero tolerance policy and minimizing the scope for discretion. Besides scrapping interview for selection to class III and IV category posts, it has been decided to give weightage of five per cent to the candidate in whose family no one is in government job, and the annual income of the family is less than Rs 3 lakh.
Similarly, five per cent weightage would be given to the candidate who lost his father before attaining the age of 15. A provision of five per cent weightage has also been made for the candidates belonging to Denotifed Tribes who have not yet been covered under the Scheduled Castes or Backward Classes.
The Chief Minister said there was rampant corruption in the transfer of employees, particularly of teachers, as their transfer was done manually. Only ten per cent of teachers were present in the schools as they had to make frequent rounds of Chandigarh to get postings of their choice. But as a result of the transparent online teachers transfer policy implemented by the present government, about 93 per cent teachers got stations of their choice. Last year, transfer of 42,000 teachers was effected with a single click, he added.
While emphasizing the need for social security for every individual, he said his government was taking all such steps as were required for the uplift of the needy and the poor. “We are the first to announce monthly old age allowance of Rs 2,000 to all eligible beneficiaries of over 60 years. The old age allowance is being increased at the rate of Rs 200 every year, and from 2019, the beneficiaries would get Rs 2000.
