Haryana’s Energy, Transport and Labour Minister Sh. Anil Vij today redressed to the grievances of residents from the Ambala Cantonment Assembly Constituency today at his residence in Ambala Cantonment and issued instructions to concerned officials for necessary action. During the public greivances, a vendor employed by a catering contractor at Ambala Cantonment railway station informed to the Minister, alleging financial exploitation.
The vendor said he was not being paid the minimum wage, and was also denied benefits such as ESI and EPF. Despite having raised the issue earlier, no action had been taken. Taking serious note of this, Labour Minister Anil Vij reprimanded the Labour Inspector present on the spot.
He sternly stated that “Labour officers must take workers’ issues seriously. Strict action should be taken against the contractor in this matter.” During this, a retired army colonel informed the minister that he had bought a plot in Defence Colony, but the dealer was refusing to register the property.
Minister Vij directed the Panjokhra police station to take action in this case. Similarly, a Junior Warrant Officer from the Air Force complained that although he owns a plot in Boh, a nearby dairy operator was dumping cow dung in front of it, causing a constant stench in the area. Minister Vij instructed Municipal Council officials to address the issue.
Fraud in the Name of Plot Sale – Police Directed to Take Action
A woman from Defence Colony, Ambala informed Minister Vij that she had sold her plot to a dealer for Rs. 6.5 lakhs, but the dealer paid her only Rs. 4.5 lakhs, withholding the remaining Rs.2 lakhs. On this, Minister Vij directed the police to take appropriate action. In another complaint, residents from Tundla requested the removal of speed breakers from a newly constructed road.
Minister Vij directed PWD officials to act on the matter. A woman from BC Bazaar complained that another woman had filed a false police complaint against her, leading to harassment, and raised questions about the police’s conduct. Minister Vij directed the Superintendent of Police (SP) to investigate the case.
Several other complaints were also raised, on which Minister Anil Vij directed the concerned departmental officials to take prompt action.
