Bathinda : Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal today asked the people to give him and the state government 90 days to fulfil the promises made by the Congress. He was here on a thanksgiving tour after his victory in the recently held state Assembly elections.
Administering polio drops to children at the Urban Health Centre, Dhobiana Basti, he directed Deputy Commissioner Diprava Lakra to ensure that no one from the civil administration, police, Municipal Corporation, Health Department or any government office accompanied ministers, “not even the Chief Minister”, during their functions in the district.
“The Badal family used to move around with a battery of officers and police personnel. We have shunned the VIP culture. If the presence of any officer is required at a function, a letter will be sent prior to the minister’s visit, specifying the duration for which the former has to be present on the spot,” he said.
During his visit to the localities along railway lines, he said the process to rename the area as ‘New Bathinda’ would be initiated soon. “Announcements on bringing industrial units to provide employment opportunities to the local youth would also be made soon,” Manpreet said. He also announced that the local solid waste treatment plant would be shifted.
Clarifying on the use of the red beacon on VIPvehicles, he said a typing error in the government order had led to confusion.
