Chandigarh: Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema has expressed hope of justice for the state from the Union Budget 2025.

But this time there is full hope that Punjab will definitely get something.”

Demand for special economic package for border districts

Demand to strengthen police infrastructure
Apart from this, the Punjab government has also demanded Rs 1000 crore so that the police infrastructure in border areas can be strengthened and security system can be improved.
