Home Minister to lay PGI Satellite Centre<\/span> foundation stone on July 23 \u2013 Rana Sodhi<\/span><\/p>\n

Ferozepur<\/span>, July 16, 2023:\u00a0 The foundation stone of PGI Satellite Centre<\/span>, which could not be laid by the Prime Minister during his last visit to Ferozepur<\/span>, \u00a0will now be laid on the coming Sunday (July 23) by the Home Minister, Amit<\/span> Shah. This was disclosed by \u00a0Rana Sodhi<\/span>, senior BJP leader in a press meet today.<\/p>\n

Added here, the Prime Minister Narendra<\/span> Modi was forced to cancel his public address and return to Delhi after a “security breach” prevented him from going to Ferozepur<\/span> because of a farmers\u2019 road blockade on January 4. This was Modi\u2019s first visit to the state in two years. Modi, who landed at Bathinda\u2019s<\/span> Bhisiana<\/span> Airport on Wednesday morning, was stranded on a flyover near Piareana<\/span> village on Ferozepur-Moga<\/span> road after a road blockade by farmers prevented him from going any farther. The prime minister had originally planned to take a chopper to Ferozepur<\/span> but had to take the road route because of bad weather.<\/p>\n

Sodhi<\/span>, however, thanked the Centre<\/span> government for release of Rs.218 cr for flood relief but expressed over holding its distribution to the real beneficiaries in this hour of need. Expressing concern over the demand of more funds for the flood victims, he said, it is very unfortunate that not a single penny has been disbursed so far.<\/p>\n

Expressing concern over the demand of more funds for the flood victims, he said, it is very unfortunate that not a single penny has been disbursed so far.<\/p>\n

He said, the land being cultivated by the farmers of the border villages is of the Centre<\/span> government, the financial assistance to the farmers should be disbursed as per the actual cultivation of the land by the particular farmer.\u00a0 He demanded that the compensation amount should not be less Rs.25,000 per acre.<\/p>\n

Rana Sodhi<\/span> further said, the loan of the flood victims farmers, if any, should also be waived off by the government.<\/p>\n

He said, there is a need to think about Punjabis, Punjabiat<\/span>, youths and farmers \u00a0on how to improve their status besides on drug issues also but the present government is moving on some other tracks. \u00a0\u00a0Adding he said, Punjab is the food basket for the rest of the country but still backward. BJP has special agendas whereas the other parties have no such agenda as they are concerned with grabbing of power only. The Modi government will repeat for the third time at the Centre<\/span> and in the next term, Punjab will have the lion’s share of funds for various projects.<\/p>\n

Talking about the PGI in Ferozepur<\/span>, he said, the foundation for the same will be laid on the next Sunday by the Home Minister, Amit<\/span> Shah and it is hoped that the OPD services will start well before the coming Lok Sabha<\/span> elections.<\/p>\n

BJP local leaders and workers were also present on this occasion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
