Industrialists' demands to be addressed on priority: Punjab CM
Darpan News Desk IANS, 15 Dec, 2021 12:50 PM
Chandigarh, Dec 15 (IANS) Reiterating his government's firm commitment to ensure a congenial atmosphere for industrial development, Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Channi on Wednesday assured representatives of various industrial associations that their entire genuine grievances would be addressed on priority and in a fast-track mode.
Addressing members of industrial associations, who called on Channi here in the presence of Local Government Minister Brahm Mohindra, he said that most of their demands have already been met as promised by him during the Punjab Investors' Summit.
The remaining would also be resolved amicably soon after getting these thoroughly examined, he added.
Channi said since the issues flagged by the representatives of the industry at this platform are of diverse nature viz. GST, pollution and power, which need to be tackled after due diligence by taking the views of respective administrative secretaries.
Taking prompt cognizance of the prevailing SMS racket in the steel market of Mandi Gobindgarh, Channi ordered the SSP in Fatehgarh Sahib instantly to take stern action against all those unscrupulous elements involved in such unethical trade practices.
He also asked the PSPCL authorities to look into the demand of various industrial associations for waiver of fixed electricity charges of two months i.e. April and May 2020 as the industry was shut down during Covid-19 pandemic.
Channi said a positive investment sentiment has been set into motion with a sole objective to ensure level-playing field to all stakeholders to invest in Punjab as it is now swiftly emerging as the most preferred investment destination across the country.
He was accompanied by AAP Punjab President and MP Bhagwant Mann, Punjab affairs in-charge Jarnail Singh, co-in-charge Raghav Chadha, MLAs Aman Arora, Kultar Singh Sandhwan, Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer, Baljinder Kaur, Amarjit Singh Sandoa, and Master Baldev Singh, among others.
On Tuesday, IANS had first ran the story -- "'Upset' Amarinder likely to meet Shah, his office denies". Since then, speculation was doing the rounds about a likely meeting between the two leaders. However, Singh's media advisor Raveen Thukral had then denied the former meeting Shah and BJP chief J.P. Nadda, saying he's on a personal visit to Delhi to meet 'some friends'.
The petitioner contended that her daughter is a permanent resident of the US, while her son holds an American passport. Jauhar argued that children have been taken to an "undisclosed destination", as they are neither in Chennai nor at Tamil Nadu's Virudhnagar, and that his client suspects they have been taken to Maharashtra.
After failing to get any information about Gurdeep's whereabouts since he left Delhi a week ago, his uncle Shamsher Singh, who is also at Singhu, lodged the missing complaint at Kundli police station which falls under Sonepat district of Haryana and is very near the farmers' protest site.
Her resignation came hours after she was given water supply and sanitation, social security, women and child development, printing, and stationery departments in the new Cabinet led by Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi.
There is a Twitter war going on between senior BJP Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy and Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga, the national secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) with allegations and counter allegations flying thick and fast against each other.
