As part of the CSR Initiative, auto major Honda will now aid Gurugram in Construction and Demolition waste management. The company has signed an MoU today in the presence of Haryana CM Nayab Saini to process ‘malba’ into tiles. Gurugram is facing major C and D waste crises with every inch of the city covered in the same. CM Saini held a special meeting with top Japanese companies in Gurugram on Sunday, inviting them to make greater investments in Haryana.
Saini is likely to visit Japan from October 6 to 8, during which he will visit the Haryana Pavilion. As part of this, he held discussions with senior officers of major Japanese companies operating in Haryana to boost investment. He also discussed the establishment of a dedicated cluster for Japanese companies in Haryana and invited them to set up this cluster in Narayangarh.
Saini further added that Narayangarh is strategically located close to Chandigarh, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Punjab, at a distance of merely 40–45 kilometers, which will significantly boost trade.
Discussing water supply facilities in Manesar, the CM said that the Detailed Project Report (DPR) has been prepared, and work will commence soon after tendering. A budget provision of around Rs. 3,000 crore has been made to ensure water availability in Manesar through a pipeline from the Munak Canal. This arrangement has been planned keeping in view the expected population growth over the next 25–30 years, to ensure there will be no water scarcity.
Saini emphasized the proper treatment of chemical water discharged by industrial units and encouraged the adoption of advanced technologies. Industries should recycle and reuse their wastewater. For this, a plan has been prepared through HSIIDC. In the first phase, this system will be implemented in Manesar at a cost of around Rs. 78 crore, enabling industries to reuse water.
The CM stressed the importance of utilizing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds for meaningful development works. He said that CSR funds should be spent through the Deputy Commissioner to ensure their optimum utilization and maximum benefit to the public. CSR funds can support initiatives such as language courses in hospitals and higher education institutions.
The CM also announced the introduction of advanced fire brigade systems. In the initial phase, these will be set up in Gurugram, Faridabad, and Sonipat. He further stated that the government has initiated steps to establish ten new IMTs (Industrial Model Townships), and around 6,000–7,000 acres of land have already been registered on the e-Bhoomi portal for this purpose. He assured that industries investing in Haryana will receive world-class facilities. Transparency has been enhanced in the No Objection Certificate (NOC) approval process.
