JALANDHAR: Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal Thursday said that subsidies are an International phenomenon and Union Government is one of the biggest providers of subsidies. He ruled out the possibility of withdrawal of any subsidy being provided to any section of society in the state as these were the outcome of SAD-BJP government’s commitment to the people of State.
In an informal interaction with media persons at PAP Complex helipad, the Deputy Chief Minister pointed out that in comparison of Union government and other state governments, our State was providing too less subsidies and all these subsidies were being provided to the deserving and needy sections of the society.
He informed that earlier in the day during his meeting with Union Home Minister Mr. P. Chidambaram, he urged him to take initiative for opening of Hussainiwala border as it could make a significant contribution in overall development of the region as Kasur, the adjoining City of Pakistan was an industrial hub. Besides this, regular compensation of Rs. 5000 per acre for those farmers having land across the fencing, wherever possible, shifting the fencing towards International border, acquisition of 11 meter land being used by BSF for patrolling, resumption of Ferozepur-Amritsar rail link and starting a Shatabadi train from Ferozepur to Delhi were the other major demands put forth before Home Minister, he added. He further asked Mr. Chidambaram to take up the issue of release of polluted industrial water especially of Kasur tanneries with Pak government.
