Decision on debt waiver soon, says Punjab CM

Chandigarh: Punjab chief minister Capt. Amarinder Singh on Friday said his government would soon announce its decision on farm debt waiver based on the recommendations of the T. Haq Expert Committee, which is scheduled to submit its report shortly.

Addressing the House on the third day of the Budget Session, Capt. Amarinder reiterated his government’s commitment to fulfilling all poll manifesto promises, including loan waiver and kurki abolition for the distressed farmers of the state.

Lashing out at the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the chief minister termed as extremely sad and unfortunate their repeated attempts to undermine the sanctity of the House and bring disrepute to its sacred traditions.
