Union Minister Manohar Lal Ensures Lohri Event Ends on Time at 10 PM
Union Power Minister Manohar Lal took charge to make sure the Lohri celebrations at Haryana Bhawan ended right on time. The event happened on Tuesday and wrapped up by the legally-mandated deadline of 10pm. This timely conclusion followed clear instructions from the minister himself.
Key Attendees at the Haryana Bhawan Celebration
Several important figures joined the Lohri festivities organized by the Haryanvi Maitri Sabha. Chief Justice of India Suya Kant and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta were among the notable guests. Sources from the event confirmed that Minister Manohar Lal issued strict orders to finish by 10pm sharp. Everyone followed these directions without any issues.
Government Officials Receive Reminder on Courteous Behavior
In a separate development, the Department of Personnel and Training has sent out a fresh reminder to all Union and state government officials. This memo reinforces guidelines on how to interact with elected representatives like MPs, MLAs, and MLCs. The move comes after some recent friction during committee meetings between MPs and officers.
The guidelines stress the importance of being polite and patient during meetings and phone calls. Officials should listen carefully to the elected members. However, they must also act based on their own best judgment and follow the existing rules. The DoPT issued this office memo on Monday after a Parliamentary Standing Committee asked for the guidelines to be reiterated back in October 2025.
Union Environment Minister Recalls Rural Connections

Haryana's Forest Minister Rao Narbir Singh also attended the launch. He comes from Gairatpur Bas, one of the villages studied for the report. Minister Yadav's own family has roots in Jamalpur, Gurgaon. This connection added a personal touch to the discussion about the Aravalli region.
These stories highlight how government figures are engaging with both ceremonial duties and administrative responsibilities. From ensuring event deadlines to promoting respectful conduct and connecting with local issues, the actions reflect ongoing efforts in governance and community relations.
