The chief minister’s yatra started from the PWD rest house at Hisar at 9.30 am.The yatra reached Hansi after passing through several areas.

Khattar said the government had started the Chief Minister Parivar Samriddhi Yojana under which Rs 6,000 would be sent every year to the bank accounts of all families with an income up to Rs 1.80 lakh. From this amount, premiums of the families concerned will be paid for various types of insurance, pension and other government schemes so that they do not get deprived of the benefits of the family plans due to non-payment of premiums, the CM added.
