Chandigarh, April 25, 2025 – Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini emphasized the significant influence of Khaps in society, stating that they have long been a source of values for the youth.

Nayab Singh Saini was addressing Khap representatives from Haryana at the Public Works Department (PWD) Rest House in Jind after flagging off the Cyclothon Yatra.
The Chief Minister urged the Khap representatives to launch a campaign to keep youth away from drugs and support the goal of making Haryana drug-free.
He stated that while the Cyclothon Yatra was part of a broader awareness effort, its primary objective was to eliminate drug abuse. “We must save our youth from the harmful effects of drug addiction,” said the Chief Minister.
“It is crucial to engage as many young people as possible in sports, enabling them to bring home maximum medals and make Haryana proud, both nationally and internationally.”
The Khap representatives expressed their gratitude to the Chief Minister for inviting them and giving them respect and honour. They also praised his humble and cheerful nature. The khap representative shared their views on various social issues, with the Chief Minister attentively listening and assuring necessary action on all matters.
