Chandigarh, July 9 – Haryana’s Energy, Transport and Labour Minister, Sh. Anil Vij said that under the Swamitva Scheme, the Municipal Council Ambala Sadar has so far received around Rs.33 crore in revenue, and residents of Ambala Cantonment are taking full benefit of the scheme.
He informed that under the scheme, the Municipal Council Ambala Sadar has approved 58% of tehbazari, rent, and lease applications that are over 20 years old. So far, registrations have been completed in 438 such cases, and the applicants have become shop owners.

It is worth noting that the Swamitva Scheme was implemented in Ambala Cantonment due to the efforts of Cabinet Minister Anil Vij. Under this scheme, shopkeepers who had been operating under tehbazari, lease, or rent for more than 20 years were to be given ownership rights to their shops.
*535 rental applications approved, 417 tenants became shop owners-Vij*
Cabinet Minister Anil Vij said that under the Swamitva Scheme, the Municipal Council Ambala Sadar invited applications from tenants who had occupied municipal council shops for more than 20 years to grant them ownership rights. A total of 734 tenants applied, out of which 535 cases have been approved, and registrations have been completed for 417 tenants—who are now no longer tenants but shop owners. These shop owners can now also construct multi-storey buildings on their premises.
*Hundreds of applications also received under tehbazari and lease cases- Vij*
Cabinet Minister Anil Vij said that 223 tehbazari applications were received under the Swamitva Scheme, out of which 126 cases have been approved, and 21 have already been registered. The registration process for the remaining cases is being carried out swiftly. Similarly, 190 lease applications were received by the Municipal Council, and further actions are underway.
Due to the efforts of Haryana's Energy, Transport, and Labour Minister Anil Vij, Ambala Cantonment was included under the Swamitva Scheme. Earlier, the scheme’s benefits were not available in Ambala Cantonment due to it being an excise area. However, Minister Anil Vij fought for the residents and ensured the scheme was implemented there.
Shops located on Railway Road, Rai Market, Gandhi Market, Sabzi Mandi, Rambagh Road, Bus Stand, and several other locations under tehbazari and rental agreements in Ambala Cantonment have now been granted ownership rights.

*Angry Energy Minister Anil Vij over Delay in Reports at Civil Hospital's MRI and CT Scan Center*
*“Patients don’t get their reports for four days – the center has become a joke” – Anil Vij*
*“You’ve assumed ownership here, but if patients face trouble, strict action will follow” – Vij*
*Minister Vij also instructed hospital staff to monitor the patients visiting all three centers daily and to fully computerize the system*

Cabinet Minister Anil Vij had been receiving complaints that patients visiting the MRI and CT scan centers were getting their reports after four days.
Reprimanding the center staff, he said that, “Patients are not receiving their reports for four days – if I receive any more complaints, strict action will be taken. You have turned the center into a joke. If patients suffer, action will be harsh. I have put my full hard work into building this hospital and you’re being negligent here. The test report should be given to the patient the same day.”
He added that “This center runs on the PPP model – that means one ‘P’ is for the public, one for private, and the third ‘P’ is for partnership, which is with the government. But here, you’ve started behaving as if you own the place.”
Minister Vij gave instructions to the PMO of the Civil Hospital, Dr. Pooja Pental, and other officials present at the spot, stating that every patient coming to the MRI & CT Scan Center, Heart Center, and Dialysis Center under the PPP model must have a card made before their checkup or test. He further directed that daily reports must be compiled.
He stated that the officers should maintain registers and verify when the CT scan was done and when the report was handed over to the patient. A complete card must be made for each patient. All three centers should have a computerized system in place.

Minister Anil Vij also found deficiencies in the hospital’s cleanliness during his visit today and expressed displeasure to the officials present. He said that any negligence in cleanliness would not be tolerated.
