Chandigarh | Wednesday | 20th March, 2019

Summary:

“If the Rajasthan government is giving Rs 50 lakhs to the families then why Punjab is giving Rs 12 lakh? The second instalment of Rs 7 lakh, including Rs 1 lakh each to his mother and father, will be provided soon. Sometime back, minister Gurpreet Singh Kangar gave us a cheque of Rs 5 lakh out of Rs 12 lakh as promised by the state government. If other state governments are giving more, then Punjab government should give the same. A reminder has been sent to the government.”The Shiromani Akali Dal said the state government should match the compensation awarded by other state governments..
