– Power Minister Saund encouraged Kabaddi players at the Tiwana Sports Festival at Dittupur Jattan
– Said that through 3100 rural playgrounds in the state, youth are being diverted from drugs by connecting them with sports.
Punjab’s Minister for Power, Rural Development and Panchayat, Labour, Hospitality and Tourism and Cultural Affairs S. Tarunpreet Singh Saund has said that Chief Minister S. Bhagwant Singh Mann has shown his true son of Punjab by taking many historic initiatives for the welfare of Punjab and Punjabis during the last four and a half years. S. Saund had arrived at Dittupur Jattan village near Bhadson this evening to attend the 58th annual three-day Tiwana Sports Festival as the chief guest. On this occasion, senior AAP leader Karanvir Singh Tiwana and Chairman of Market Committee Nabha Gurdeep Singh Tiwana were also present.
Addressing the gathering, Cabinet Minister S. Tarunpreet Singh Saund said that the opponents are not tolerating the popularity of S. Bhagwant Singh Mann, due to which they are adopting crude tactics to defame the Chief Minister. He said that today, the only people who are making statements against the popular Chief Minister are those who, during his tenure, pushed the youth of Punjab towards drugs and did not take any concrete steps for the betterment of the farmers.
Encouraging the Kabaddi players on this occasion, Mr. Saund said that the Punjab government has kept a budget of Rs. 1500 crore for the construction of 3100 playgrounds in the state. He said that through these playgrounds and ‘Khedan Watan Punjab Diyan’, the youth are being connected with sports and kept away from drugs. He said that to save the farmers of the state, the waters of Punjab are being protected and efforts are being made to provide canal water to every farm to prevent our land from becoming barren.
He further said that Punjab is currently moving forward on the path of progress and the state government is continuously working to provide better opportunities in Punjab itself by preventing the youth from going abroad. He said that the ‘War on Drugs’ campaign is showing good results. He appealed to the people to be aware of the false propaganda being spread by the opposition parties and contribute to the progress of Punjab.
