Committed to zero tolerance for graft: Punjab CM Charanjit Channi

Chandigarh, October 26

Assuring the business honchos of creating environment conducive to investment in the state, CM Charanjit Channi today reiterated that his government was committed to act as a true facilitator with zero tolerance for political or bureaucratic corruption, negative attitude, delays or inertia.

In his keynote address on the plenary session of the 4th Progressive Punjab Investors Summit, 2021, at the Indian School of Business, Mohali, the CM said Punjab would live up to their expectations as it was the best place to do business in India. Expressing his gratitude to all visionaries who joined on the first day of the two-day summit, the CM said their suggestions would help the government further fine tune the existing industrial policy by incorporating some requisite amendments to make it more investor friendly.

Exhorting the tycoons, Channi said: “You have the capital, the risk-taking capacity and business ideas. I have the will, the intent and the commitment. I give my commitment to you all today that our government will work with you at every step to see that nothing from the government hinders your speed or create hurdles in your business plans. Come let’s team up to deliver the true potential of your organisation and the state. Let’s work together towards mutual growth and progress.” Finance Minister Manpreet Badal lauded industrialists’ contribution in scripting a new chapter of industrialisation. — TNS
