Will fulfil promise of financial aid to women soon, says Punjab CM

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday said one of the Aam Aadmi Party’s key poll guarantee of ₹1,000 financial assistance to women will be implemented soon in the State.

Speaking on the debate on the State Budget in the House during the ongoing Assembly session, he said that the State government is already in process of resource mobilisation and once it is completed this guarantee will be fulfilled soon.

He said that for the first-time core areas of education and health have been accorded top priority in the current budget. The previous governments, he said, have jeopardised the government education and health sector to give open space to private players for expanding their business.
