Punjab is expected to procure 132 lakh metric tons wheat, out of which 17.14 lakh metric tons have already been acquired, Chief Secretary Anurag Verma said on Sunday.
Punjab transport minister Laljit Singh Bhullar on Wednesday said the state government bus service to Delhi International Airport will be resumed soon. He said that after the threadbare discussion between the Chief Ministers of both the governments, the issue has been taken up today during the secretary-level meeting of the transport departments of Delhi and Punjab.
Bhullar said during a recent meeting with Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, he apprised him about the long-pending issue, which had directly connected with the increase in the revenue of the transport department.
“I also informed the Chief Minister about the issue of looting of state’s passengers by private bus operators due to unavailability of public bus service”, said the minister, adding the CM had recently taken up the matter with Delhi CM, Arvind Kejriwal.
