The Punjab Government has come up with a new policy to ensure judicious use of village land. Under the policy, the State Government would provide assistance to the panchayats for levelling village land.
Announcing this, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal appealed to the panchayats to take advantage of these policies of the State Government for ensuring holistic and sustainable development of the villages. He has also asked the panchayats to ensure optimum utilisation of the vacant lands in the villages. For the purpose, he has asked them to “avail the facility of getting priority tube well connections for these lands so that their income could be supplemented”.
