Haryana to allot HUDA plots to lawyers

Panipat, Dec 26 (UNI) Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda today said the state government would make a provision to allot plots in residential sectors developed by Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) to those lawyers who did not have their own plots for constructing their houses.

The Chief Minister was speaking after laying the foundation stone of the Advocate Chambers in the judicial complex here.

He said the advocates should charge less fee from the poor so that they might get quick social as well as economic justice.

''Our judiciary has played a vital role in strengthening our democratic fabric and the advocates have played a lead role for this purpose,'' he added.
