Punjab Newsline, SAS Nagar/Chandigarh, November 19-
Punjab cabinet minister Harbhajan Singh ETO administered the oath of office to the newly elected Panchs of the district in Mohali today. In his address, he appealed to all the Panchayats to set aside any factionalism that might have arisen during the Panchayat elections, and to work together for the development and welfare of their villages.
ETO emphasized that the CM Bhagwant Singh Mann-led Punjab government has demonstrated a positive change for paving the way for contesting Panchayat elections without party symbols this time. This approach aims to eliminate factionalism and focus attention and energy on addressing fundamental issues, he added.
The Minister highlighted that being elected by the people to any position, whether as a Panch, Sarpanch, Councilor, or MLA, is the greatest blessing from God. “The people have entrusted them with the power of the pen and seal, which comes with a significant responsibility to use wisely”, said the Cabinet Minister while reminding the newly elected Panchs that the pen is mightier than the sword and should be used for the development of the village and the welfare of its people.
