Haryana CM Accepts Meghwal Samiti Demands, Proposes Caste Certificate Changes
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini accepted all 10 demands from the Meghwal Utthan Samiti during a gathering in Bawal, announcing a ₹31 lakh grant for the organisation. Key demands include replacing 'Chamar' with 'Meghwal' in caste certificates, construction of dharamshalas in Rewari and Bawal, and establishing libraries in every panchayat. Saini said the caste name change would be recommended to the Centre, as it is a central subject. The government plans to expand library access and will consider dharamshala locations after committee recommendations.
