Patiala, November 30 Speaking on the occasion, Ramesh Inder Singh asserted that as many as 400 artisans from 20 states across the country are taking part in the fair.

government. Ramesh Inder Singh said austerity measures had been put into place by the state government under which one department would avail only one car and not more. He added that as part of the austerity measures, the state government had given vehicles to security personnel accompanying the government officials, which had a better average of diesel and petrol in an attempt to save financial resources. He added that various posts lying in the state government would be filled soon through the Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC). He claimed that the process of recruitment through the PPSC was already set in motion and all vacant posts would be
