The Minister said that this is a big relief to the people adding that the state government led by Mr. Bhagwant Singh Mann is a making every effort to facilitate people. He said that this path breaking initiative will curb the menace of illegal colonies on one hand and will generate state revenue on the other. Mr. Jimpa urged the people to take maximum mileage of this pro people initiative of the state government.
