Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the state government is working untiringly for the progress and development of the state and prosperity of its people.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Underlining his commitment to education, the Chief Minister announced the setting up of new libraries and colleges in villages to ensure quality education for rural youth. \u201cI am now repaying the debts of people\u2019s love,\u201d he remarked, countering past claims by former ministers that the state exchequer was empty. Bhagwant Singh Mann further informed about multiple welfare schemes rolled out for SC communities, farm labourers, and other marginalized sections.<\/div>\n<div><img fetchpriority=\"high\"

roads in the state at a cost of Rs 4,150.42 crore. He said that the main motive of the campaign is to facilitate the people as these Link Roads act as a catalyst in commuting and smooth transportation of the goods and services to people. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that these link roads are the arteries of economic growth in the state as they help the people residing in rural areas to commute on one hand and give impetus to trade and business on the other adding that he has asked the Punjab Mandi Board and PWD to ensure high quality of the work besides ensuring that every penny allocated for that project was invested in a justified manner.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Chief Minister said that the introduction of the Sadak Surakhya Force (SSF) has reduced road accident mortality in Punjab by 48\u201349 percent. He said that the Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has lauded this initiative of the state government and has urged other states to replicate it. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that this first of its kind initiative taken by the state government is a milestone in the history of the state.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Earlier, the Chief Minister laid the foundation stone of the new office complex of the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) in Lehragaga. He said that the complex will have built-up area of 10,000 square feet and will be spread over 2.34 acres of land. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that total cost of the complex will be Rs. 4.69 crore and the project is expected to be completed within 18 months.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Chief Minister said that complex will house two sub-divisional offices (Urban Lehragaga and Rural Lehragaga) and a complaint center, aimed at providing better services to the local residents. Previously, he said that one PSPCL office operated from a very old building and another from a rented facility, which caused significant difficulties in public services and administrative work. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that now people will be able to access multiple electricity-related services under one roof adding that the Punjab Government is providing 600 units of free electricity to every household, benefiting about 90% of families in the state who now receive zero electricity bills.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Chief Minister said that Punjab has made history by purchasing the Goindwal Power Plant, previously owned by private company GVK Power. He said that this is the first time a government has bought a privately-owned property and the plant has been named after the Third Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Amar Das Ji. Bhagwant Singh Mann also laid the foundation stone of a new Tehsil Complex in Lehragaga adding that the project will cost Rs. 15.92 crore.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Chief Minister said that the project is expected to be completed before July 30, 2026 and the covered area of the building will be 51,881 square feet.

The aim is to ensure no person sleeps hungry as Under \u2018Aap Ki Rasoi\u2019, simple and nutritious meals are provided for just Rs. 10 per plate. Currently, around 250 people daily, including children, elderly, and youth, eat meals here and the foundation members themselves take interest in preparing and serving the food.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hailing the initiative, the Chief Minister said that This is a significant initiative, especially for daily wage laborers who can now get a full meal for Rs. 10 adding that Other organizations should also take inspiration and initiate such noble efforts. He also inaugurated a New Hall at Saurabh Complex, which already is a major facility for the local population and this new hall will further ease the hosting of social events and meetings. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that in this hall people can hold social, religious, and other events at very low cost and no fee is charged from poor and needy people. Pertinently, the complex is named in memory of Saurabh Goel, a young and kind-hearted social worker, and the son of Cabinet Minister Barinder Kumar Goel.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Blessing newly-wedded couples at an event, the Chief Minister said that a successful marital life is founded on mutual trust and balance.
