Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Friday said that the state government is constructing 3,100 stadiums across the state to promote sporting culture and wean away the youth from the curse of drugs.
He argued that since most of the witnesses are government officials and he himself is currently under suspension, there is no possibility of influencing witnesses or tampering with evidence
The Punjab government has once again changed the working hours of all the government offices. From July 1, all government offices will return to their regular timings of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Earlier, due to the severe heatwave and extreme summer conditions, the government had revised office timings to 7:30 am to 1:30 pm.
The Yudh Nashean Virudh goes beyond rehabilitation. A case in point is at the Jalandhar De-Addiction Centre where former victims of substance abuse who joined the mainstream are regularly tracked to assess their progress and examine if there are any signs of relapse.
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann urged the Centre to reconsider the Bill and hold wider consultations before implementing reforms that could significantly alter the higher education landscape.
AAP ministers, MLAs, senior leaders, karyakartas and local residents took to the streets across the state, accusing opposition parties of misusing religion, spreading false propaganda and hatching political conspiracies to mislead the people of Punjab and derail the state’s progress.
