Punjab Newsline, Dinanagar (Gurdaspur), July 29-
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann on Monday said that the progressive and brave border region of the state had lagged behind in the pace of development due to regressive and feudal policies of the dynasties that have been representing this area since long.
Addressing the gathering after dedicating Railway Over Bridge here today, the CM said that the residents of border districts of the state are brave people who have always safeguarded the unity and sovereignty of the country. He said that this is the land blessed by great Gurus and is inhabited by brave and hard working people. Mann said that though leaders from this area had remained in pivotal positions, they never bothered about the development of the region and welfare of people.
The CM said that the leaders who have been elected from here since long have done nothing to give fillip to development of the region. He said that this region which had produced great patriots and nationalists had not witnessed the development during the regime of these rulers.
