Punjab's Industrial Renaissance: Kejriwal's Bold Moves for Economic Revitalization

Arvind Kejriwal announced a one-time settlement scheme to resolve industrialists' long-standing issues in Punjab. The Punjab government aims to boost the industry sector while combating corruption and improving infrastructure. By implementing bold measures, the AAP seeks to facilitate a conducive business environment for industrial growth.

AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal declared a breakthrough in solving a 32-year-old issue for Punjab's industrialists through a one-time settlement scheme. Speaking at a 'Sanatkaar Milni' event, Kejriwal emphasized the significant strides made by the Punjab government under Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to support the state's industry sector.

By approving two settlement schemes, the Punjab Cabinet aims to waive off compounding and penal interests for industrial plot dues, marking a commitment to fostering a favorable business climate. Kejriwal highlighted past government faults that led to industrial flight, expressing his administration's resolve to reverse this trend by enacting comprehensive policies.

Further initiatives include online public services, revision in fire safety norms, and a war on corruption. The AAP leader called for industrialists' cooperation in combating extortion, strengthening emergency helplines, and enhancing police response. Efforts are underway to revamp state infrastructure, expedite project clearances, and create exhibition centers, reflecting AAP's vision for a rejuvenated industrial landscape.
