चंडीगढ़, 24 अक्टूबर। हरियाणवी संस्कृति का अभिन्न हिस्सा रहे मुढे अब गांवों की पंचायतों व चौपालों की शान बढ़ाएंगे। प्रदेश के डिप्टी सीएम दुष्यंत चौटाला ने ग्राम पंचायतों को बैठने के लिए मुढे उपलब्ध करवाने का निर्णय लिया है। हरियाणा खादी एवं ग्रामोद्योग बोर्ड इन मुढों को तैयार करवागा और पंचायत विभाग हरियाणा के कोने-कोने तक मुढें पहुंचाएगा। प्रथम चरण में एक हजार गांवों में ये मुढे दिए जाएंगे। खादी बोर्ड के चेयरमैन की नियुक्ति के बाद पहला ऑर्डर डिप्टी सीएम ने दिया है। दुष्यंत चौटाला का यह कदम गांवों में कुटीर व ग्रामोद्योगों के साथ साथ आत्मनिर्भरता को बढ़ावा देने की दिशा में भी महत्वपूर्ण साबित होगा। दरअसल, उपमुख्यमंत्री दुष्यंत चौटाला वीरवार को खादी एवं ग्रामोद्योग बोर्ड के नवनियुक्त चेयरमैन रामनिवास सुरजाखेड़ा को पदभार संभलवाने के लिए पंचकुला में बोर्ड के कार्यालय गए थे। पदभार संभलवाने के बाद दुष्यंत चौटाला कार्यालय का निरीक्षण करने लगे। कार्यालय में ही खादी बोर्ड द्वारा बनाए जाने वाले खादी के वस्त्र, कुटीर व ग्रामोद्योग से जुड़ी अन्य वस्तुओं को प्रदर्शित किया गया था। इसी दौरान अनायास ही दुष्यंत की नजर वहां रखे मुढे पर पड़ी। वे तुरंत वहां रखे मुढे के पास गए और उन्होंने अधिकारियों से पूछा कि ये मुढा यहां बैठने के लिए है या खादी बोर्ड इसे बेचता भी है? इसपर अधिकारियों ने बताया कि गांवों के कारीगरों से खादी बोर्ड ये मुढे तैयार करवाता है और इन्हें बेचता है। यह सुनते ही दुष्यंत बोले… “अरे वाह, बहुत खूबसूरत हैं ये मुढे”। हरियाणा के कारीगरों से बने मुढे इस कदर पंसद आए कि उन्होंने अधिकारियों को मौके पर पूछा कि दस हजार मुढे आप कितने दिन में तैयार कर सकते हो। इस बारे में उन्होंने अधिकारियों को जल्द ही रिपोर्ट करने को कहा।
शुक्रवार को हुई हरियाणा खादी एवं ग्रामोद्योग की प्रथम बैठक में मुढों को गांवों तक पहुंचाने बारे विचार किया गया और खादी बोर्ड को दस हजार मुढे तैयार करवाने को कहा गया। डिप्टी सीएम ने प्रथम चरण में हरियाणा की एक हजार पंचायतों को मुढे पहुंचाने का फैसला किया। ये मुढे प्रदेश के विकास एवं पंचायत विभाग द्वारा खरीद कर पंचायतों को दिए जाएंगे। उन्होंने कहा कि इससे न केवल हमारे कुटीर उद्योग को बढ़ावा मिलेगा बल्कि आत्मनिर्भरता के साथ-साथ कारीगरों की आमदनी बढ़ाने की ओर यह अहम कदम साबित होगा।
*…जननायक स्व. देवीलाल ने पहुंचाए थे गांवों में मुढे*पूर्व उपप्रधानमंत्री स्व. जननायक चौ. देवीलाल का भी मुढो के प्रति खासा लगाव था। वे स्वयं भी बैठने के लिए मुढे का प्रयोग करते थे और जहां कहीं भी पांच छह लोग मुढो पर बैठे दिखते तो चौ. देवीलाल अपनी गाड़ी रूकवाकर उनके पास जाकर ग्रामीणों का हालचाल जानते थे। हरियाणा के मुख्यमंत्री रहते हुए स्व. चौ. देवीलाल ने गांवों की पंचायत घरों में मुढे पहुंचाए थे। उनकी सोच थी कि गांवों में बनी वस्तुएं बाजार में बिकेंगी तो इससे गांवों में कुटीर उद्योगों को बढ़ावा मिलेगा, उनकी आमदनी बढ़ेगी और ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में लोगों का जीवन स्तर उंचा उठेगा। उनके परपौत्र दुष्यंत चौटाला ने भी उनके नक्शेकदम पर चलते हुए गांवों में मुढे पहुंचाने का निर्णय लिया है जिससे कि ग्रामीण आंचल के कारीगरों को प्रोत्साहन मिलेगा।

चंडीगढ़-23 अक्टूबर। भारतीय जनता पार्टी और जननायक जनता पार्टी गठबंधन सरकार की पहली वर्षगांठ पर हिसार में अंतरराष्ट्रीय स्तर के हवाई अड्डा की योजना को पंख लग जाएंगे। 27 अक्टूबर को हिसार एयरपोर्ट के लिए भूमि-पूजन का कार्यक्रम तय किया गया है।
अब तक कागजी औपचारिकताएं पूरी होने के बाद हिसार वासियों का इंटरनेशनल एयरपोर्ट बननेसपने को सरकार जल्द से जल्द पूरा करना चाहती है। हवाई अड्डा निर्माण के लिए प्रशासनिक स्तर पर सभी औपचारिकताएं पूरी कर ली गई हैं। केंद्रीय पर्यावरण एवं वन मंत्रालय विभाग से हवाई अड्डे के निर्माण कार्य शुरू करने संबंधी हरी झंडी मिल गई है और अब एयरपोर्ट के आधारभूत ढांचे का निर्माण कार्य शुरू हो सकेगा।
डिप्टी सीएम दुष्यंत चौटाला ने हिसार में इंटरनेशनल लेवल के एयरपोर्ट बनाने की योजना को धरातल पर उतारने में खासी रूचि दिखाई और उन्होंने लॉकडाउन के दौरान भी उड्डयन व विमानन क्षेत्र से जुड़ी कंपनियों व अधिकारियों के साथ मेराथन बैठकें की। इतना ही नहीं केंद्रीय वन एवं पर्यावरण मंत्रालय से हवाई अड्डे के क्लियरेंस लेने के लिए समय सीमा तय करके अधिकारियों की विशेष तौर पर डयूटी लगाई। डिप्टी सीएम की गंभीरता का ही नजीता है कि तय समय सीमा में हिसार हवाई अड्डे से केंद्रय पर्यावरण विभाग से एनओसी मिली तथा गठबंधन सरकार की पहली वर्षगांठ पर 27 अक्टूबर को हवाई अड्डा बनाने की योजना को अमली-जामा पहनाने की प्रक्रिया शुरू होगी।
डिप्टी सीएम दुष्यंत चौटाला ने कहा कि हरियाणा को आगामी समय में एविएशन हब के रूप में विकसित किया जाएगा। इसमें हिसार का हवाई अड्डे का निर्माण मील का पत्थर रहेगा वहीं भिवानी में एविशन क्लब, महेंद्रगढ़ में एडवेंचर स्पोर्टस सेंटर सहित करनाल व पंचकुला में हवाई पट्टियों का विस्तारीकरण करने पर सरकार का फोकस रहेगा।
डिप्टी सीएम ने बताया कि हवाई अड्डे के विस्तारीकरण का सबसे महत्वपूर्ण अंग हवाई पट्टी की लंबाई बढ़ाना है। वर्तमान हवाई पट्टी के अलावा तीन हजार मीटर नई हवाई पट्टी बनाने का काम शुरू हो जाएगा। हवाई पट्टी के साथ साथ ही टैक्सी वे, टैक्सी स्टैंड, जहाज के लिए पार्किंग स्पेस, टर्मिनल, एयर टै्रफिक कंट्रोल सिस्टम स्थापित करने की दिशा में चरणबद्ध तरीके से काम शुरू होगा। हिसार हवाई अड्डे की चारदीवारी निर्माण की प्रक्रिया शुरू होगी वहीं आतरिक सुरक्षा हेतु फैंसिंग लगाने की प्रक्रिया जारी है।
डिप्टी सीएम दुष्यंत चौटाला ने कहा कि हिसार के हवाई अड्डे को अत्याधुनिक बनाया जाएगा जिससे कि यहां रात को भी बड़े हवाई जहाज लैंड कर सकेंगे। कम विजिबिलिटी में जहाज को लैंड करने की समस्या से निपटने के लिए भी पूरे इंतजाम किए जाएंगे और इसके लिए इस प्रकार की अत्याधुनिक तकनीक युक्त लाइट स्थापित करने का प्रस्ताव है। जिससे कि 24 घंटे हवाई जहाज के आवागमन की सुविधा रहेगी।
