Chandigarh:- Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said that due to the war in the Gulf countries, there is tension in the whole world. But in such circumstances, there is no possibility of a lockdown. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann expressed this while talking to the media at his residence in Chandigarh today.
He said that various issues were discussed in the meeting held by Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the Chief Ministers of all the states of the country yesterday. He said that currently Punjab has a stock of six days of gas cylinders, 12 days of petrol and 14 days of diesel. Therefore, there is no need for anyone to panic or to store anything. Mann said that action will be taken against those petrol pumps that will create queues or those who will sell goods at expensive prices.
The Chief Minister said that keeping in mind the upcoming wheat season in Punjab, additional petrol and diesel has been demanded so that the wheat harvest is not affected. He said that Punjab currently has 41 lakh MT of wheat and 139 lakh MT of rice. The Punjab government opened its grain warehouses to the country and said that the central government can send wheat and rice from Punjab to other states by setting up special trains.
Along with this, Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that if he claims to have good friendship with different countries, then at such a time he should use his friendship for the 140 crore people of the country and immediately remove their problems.
Mr. Mann said that India is talking about becoming a world guru but today it has become a world disciple, which is being given approvals to buy oil for a month from the White House in America, which is wrong. He appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to speak to the leaders of various countries at the international level so that the supply of time coming to India from various countries is not affected.
