He said the self-help groups are working tirelessly in the villages and this move will help strengthening them.
Slamming the Opposition parties, the Chief Minister said those who were living in palatial houses during their heydays of power have been ousted from the political scene of the state.
He said that the state has witnessed the dawn of a new era as these people who were considered invincible have been shown the door by the people.
The Chief Minister reiterated that anyone who had plundered the money of Punjab and its people will be made accountable for his sins against the state.
He said the corrupt elements will be put behind the bars, and not be spared at any cost.
Mann solicited support and cooperation from the people in the tirade of the state government against the corruption.
