Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, April 4-
Leaders of the AAP have praised the decision of the Mann government of Punjab to amend the 2022 Punjab Sand and Gravel Mining policy. Party leaders said that this will eliminate the mining mafia and people will be able to get sand at affordable rates.
In this regard, AAP leaders Dr. Sunny Ahluwalia, Neel Garg, Safal Harpreet Singh, and Saaki Ali Khan held a press conference at the party office.
Addressing the media, Dr. Sunny Ahluwalia said that the new mining policy has been made to provide sand to the common man at even cheaper rates. Earlier, the difference between demand and supply was very large because of the way infrastructure development was happening in Punjab. People were saying that there should be changes in the mining policy.
Following that, the Punjab government held meetings with all stakeholders including builders, land crushers, and those connected to mining. Based on their feedback, the new policy was formulated.
