Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann stopped his convoy near Village Badi Madoli in Rupnagar today and interacted with the farmers and local representatives.Talking to the media, CM Mann expressed pride in the significant progress under his administration, emphasizing how the state is witnessing a transformative wave of development.
CM Mann stated, "Punjab’s torch of progress now shines brightly. For the first time, farmers are cultivating paddy during the day using electricity, with surplus power being provided to them. Canal water is also being made available to fields, ensuring every farmer's needs are met. Farmers, from all corners, are expressing their trust and satisfaction in the system."
Interacting with local representatives, including the village sarpanch and panchayat members, he inquired about any challenges related to electricity supply. They confirmed there were none and expressed their gratitude, saying, "For the first time, we can irrigate during the day and return home by evening without worrying about interruptions. Punjab's journey of progress is truly on the rise."
CM Mann also reaffirmed his government’s unwavering commitment to eradicating the drug menace. "Our fight against drugs is yielding results. In the past, locals would bring drug peddlers to police stations, only to see them released shortly after due to corruption. Today, we have introduced strict measures to ensure accountability within the police force and a resolute approach against drug traffickers," he added.
Highlighting the importance of collective effort, CM Mann praised the community's active participation in fighting social evils and advancing Punjab’s development. He reiterated that while the government provides support and resources, it is the people’s movement that drives true change.
"The happiness and hope among the people are palpable," Mann concluded. "This wave of development and positivity in Punjab signifies that we are on the right path. Together, we will make Punjab a shining example of progress and prosperity."
