In a significant development, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has initiated the construction of Shaheed Bhagat Singh Government Medical College, dedicated to revolutionary freedom fighters. The ambitious project, with a budget of Rs 300 crore, will establish 50 MBBS seats, addressing the lack of specialized medical services in the SBS Nagar region.
