By Our Special Correspondent

CHANDIGARH, SEPT.15. The Haryana Government has decided to add 1,000 new buses to its fleet and the buses plying on rural routes would stop at the last village and begin journey from that village next morning, according to the Chief Minister, Om Prakash Chautala.

Listening to the grievances of the people on day one of his four-day tour of Sirsa district today, he said that despite the steep decrease in the water level in the Bhakra Dam, his government would ensure that the farmers get adequate power and water for the standing paddy crop and sowing of rabi crop. He reiterated that all the watercourses would be brick-lined with nine inch thick walls and wherever required their level would also be restructured.

He claimed that the people of the State would get uninterrupted power supply after December 31 as a number of power plants were being set up in the State.

He urged youngsters to form Youth Clubs in their villages and get them registered. The Government would provide them adequate sports infrastructure and funds.

He also invited the people to participate in the rally being organised at Fatehabad on September 25 to celebrate the birth anniversary of former Deputy Prime Minister Devi Lal.
