No college despite promise: Bajwa

Chandigarh, June 14

Congress Rajya Sabha MP Partap Singh Bajwa has reminded Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh about the announcement made in April 2018 to set up a medical college in Gurdaspur.

Talking in context of announcement made by the state government regarding setting up four medical colleges in Mohali, Hoshiarpur, Kapurthala and Malerkotla, Bajwa said people from Gurdaspur had for long been demanding a medical college and hospital as otherwise they have to travel to Amritsar to get treatment for serious illnesses.

“You made this promise during a rally in the Gurdsapur parliamentary bypoll. A promise made by the CM cannot be broken as it is the assurance given by the government of the day,” the MP said. — TNS
