Women To Get Rs 1,100 From January: Punjab CM Mann

On farmer protest, he said the problems of farmers will be solved through dialogue and it is a good thing that the Centre has agreed.

Moga: Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann said on Sunday that the government will start the scheme of giving Rs 1,100 to women from January. Mann was in Moga for the launch of two projects — the foundation stone of the new construction of two buildings for Rs 10.31 crore was laid at the district administrative complex and a solar project, which will generate 12.5 per cent of the electricity for the office — where he told the media that the provisions of the schemes would be announced in the upcoming budget, and like the AAP government in Delhi, all promises would be materialised.

"Our Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) does politics of work. We do not do politics of greed. We do not do the politics of religion. We make strategies to unite the society and not to divide it. AAP is forming the government in Delhi for the fourth time. This time too, the party is getting more than 70 seats in the upcoming Delhi Assembly Elections," Mann said.

On farmer protest, he said, "The problems of farmers will be solved only through dialogue. It is a good thing that the Centre has agreed to talk to the farmers. If the government doesn't talk to the farmers, then with whom will it talk?"

He said the Centre has written down the address of the meeting with the farmers scheduled on January 14. "I have held four meetings at that place. The only solution to this problem is through talks," he said. However, he did not say whether he would attend the meeting or not.

"We had earlier also asked the central government to hold talks with the farmers. We had mediated the meetings between the farmers and the central government while fulfilling our duty. The problems of the country's food suppliers must be heard by the centre," his X post reads.

In response to a question related to the Road Safety Force (SSF), he said its creation has brought a lot of benefits. Earlier, there were fourteen road accident-related deaths every day which have come down by 47 per cent. The injured are getting timely treatment and SSF has made this possible.

"The Road Safety Force (SSF) formed by the Punjab government is being appreciated across the country. The Chief Ministers of other states are also taking information from us. After the service of SSF, the number of deaths in road accidents has reduced by 47%. On January 26, the employees of SSF will also be honored," he shared in an X post.

"No one pays attention to the ornaments of the people during accidents. But the SSF has delivered Rs 5 crore in cash to the people in a year. Salute to all the soldiers. Those who have done good work. They will be honoured on January 26," Mann said.
