Will make Gurgaon ‘smartest city’: Haryana CM
Gurgaon: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Wednesday said Gurgaon will be made India’s “smartest city” and the state government will spare no efforts in this direction.
“Gurgaon lags behind in the race for smart city. Two other cities in Haryana — Karnal and Faridabad — have been ranked above, but this is not final,” Khattar said while addressing the Nasscom Product Conclave here.
He said the state government has asked the Centre that if the amount of Rs.100 crore — that is to be given by the union government annually for developing a smart city — is provided by Haryana, then can Gurgaon be included in the list of smart cities.
“The central government is considering this proposal,” he said.
“Haryana might have three smart cities instead of two. Even if it is not accepted, then also the state government is committed to develop Gurgaon as the ‘smartest city’ because it is already a smart city,” Khattar assured.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
