Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on 12 August, 2025 directed officials to ensure the tendering process for civil works is “fully transparent, efficient and time-bound” to accelerate cleanliness, beautification and infrastructure upgrades in urban areas.

Chairing a High Powered Works Purchase Committee (HPWPC) meeting in Panchkula, also attended by urban local bodies minister Vipul Goel, the Chief Minister ordered a standard operating procedure (SOP) with defined timelines and responsibilities, stressing “no compromise on quality” and urging recognition for high-performing contractors.

The Committee approved projects worth about Rs 342 crore, securing Rs 11.90 crore in savings via rate negotiations. Approvals included Rs 15.30 crore for beautifying roads, parks and roundabouts in Karnal under Divya Nagar Yojana, Rs 13.92 crore for a Rohtak dairy complex, and Rs 13.50 crore for Gurugram’s Mata Sheetla Devi shrine redevelopment.

Additional projects target waste collection, segregation, processing and legacy waste removal in multiple cities, with Rs 26 crore for Rohtak and Rs 15.28 crore for Rewari, supporting the “Clean Haryana – Beautiful Haryana” mission.
