He added that such protests particularly harm the people of Punjab, especially hardworking individuals who earn their livelihood through daily labor. Road blockages often delay emergency medical services, and during the ongoing wheat procurement season, uninterrupted rail services are essential for the transportation of crops. Therefore, halting transport services severely impacts the interests of the state.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bhagwant Singh Mann said, \u201cAny announcements, protests, or strikes that cause distress to the public and disrupt daily life will be considered acts against Punjab and its people. Those responsible for such actions will face strict legal consequences. Ensuring the development and prosperity of Punjab is our priority, and we will not allow anyone to derail that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; Several other ways of
