Will address problems of industry: Punjab CM

Chandigarh, December 15

Reiterating his government’s commitment to ensure a congenial atmosphere for investors and industrialists, Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Wednesday assured the representatives of various industrial associations that their genuine grievances would be addressed in the fast-track mode.

Addressing the members of various industrial associations who called on him in the presence of Local Government Minister Brahm Mohindra, the Chief Minister said most of their demands had already been met as promised by him during the Punjab Investors’ Summit and the remaining would also be resolved amicably soon after getting these thoroughly examined from the quarters concerned.

He said since the issues flagged by the representatives of the industry at this platform were of diverse nature such as GST, pollution and power, they needed to be tackled after due diligence by taking the views of respective administrative secretaries.

Meanwhile, Channi today announced setting up a Punjabi Film Development Council to promote the language and culture. He said a proposal in this regard would be cleared in the coming Cabinet meeting. — TNS
