They also visited the bazaars in the border township of Khemkaran and interacted with the shopkeepers besides the common man. The ministers boosted the morale of the people and said that the government would provide all assistance to the people. The ministers said that the Bhagwant Mann government in Punjab is providing all facilities to the Army troops. They advised the people not to panic as the Indian Army was well equipped and the offensive by Pakistan was being neutralised immediately.
