The government has also ordered the DC, SSP, SDM and SHO of the districts to stop corruption in their areas. If they do not succeed in this, action will be taken against them. This thing will be assessed on the basis of feedback from the general public and MLAs.

The Punjab government has been active against corruption from the very beginning. The government had given indications of this by filing cases against its MLAs.
Apart from this, corruption cases were filed against many former ministers of the Congress government. The government also cashed in on this on a large scale. But these cases are not able to stand in the court.
The corruption cases filed against former ministers Bharat Bhushan Ashu and Sundar Sham Arora have been dismissed by the Punjab and Haryana High Court. In such a situation, questions are being raised on the government as well. The opposition is cornering the government. In this situation, the government is in no mood to give any leniency.
