The cabinet meeting of the Punjab government is going to be held today (13 February) after four months. Around 65 agendas will be decided in this. In the cabinet meeting, the proposal to impose stamp duty up to 2.5% on property transfer within blood relations is likely to be approved. The government has prepared this proposal in view of the financial condition of the state. The government can put a financial burden on the common people.
Apart from this, agendas related to the Jail Department, Housing Department, Health Department, and some Municipal Corporations will be included. Apart from this, the issue of Punjabi youth deported from America is expected to be discussed in the meeting. The meeting will be held under the leadership of CM Bhagwant Mann at exactly 12 o’clock. This meeting is being considered very important. However, the date of the meeting was changed twice this month. Opposition parties also raised questions on this.
Bridge and Ramp Policy will get approval
Bridge and Ramp Policy is likely to get approval in the meeting. Under this policy, approval will have to be taken for the bridges to be built on canals and drains. Also, fees will have to be paid. Similarly, the government can consider increasing the pension of acid attack victims from Rs 8,000 to Rs 10,000.
If this happens, it will be a big decision after seven years. This pension was started during the Congress government. Similarly, developers can be asked to spend 50 per cent of the Internal Development Charges (EDC) on development work.
