Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said an international flower market would be set up near Ganaur in the National Capital Region (NCR) so that farmers of the area could get remunerative prices of their produce.
This was revealed by the Chief Minister while reviewing the performance of the Haryana State Agricultural Marketing Board (HSAMB) here today.
Hooda directed the HSAMB authorities that to maintain the quality of work while executing the developmental works. He also directed that stringent steps should be taken to plug the tax evasion on cotton so that the revenue of the government could be increased.
The CM said the HSAMB would incur a sum of Rs 600 crore on various developmental works in the state during the current financial year.
He said under the National Horticulture Mission, the mandis had been constructed at Abub Shahar and Shahbad at a cost of Rs 9.54 crore. Besides this, the construction work was also on at eight other places.
Agriculture Minister HS Chatha said with a view to bring transparency in the board, e-tendering system had been introduced.
He suggested that a senior level officer should be deputed in those mandis where the revenue generation was more than 20 crore annually.
He also advocated that the training should be imparted to the employees as it would help in more transparency.
