Govt appoints chairmen of planning boards in Punjab

The state government on Wednesday appointed chairmen and members of planning boards in various districts. The decision has been taken with the objective of accelerating the pace of development at the district level and implementing schemes in an effective manner according to local needs.

Through these boards, the voice of the common people would be incorporated into the planning process, so that development work became people-centric and effective, said an official press release.

Congratulating the newly appointed chairmen and members, CM Bhagwant Mann wrote on X: “New chairmen and members of district planning boards have been appointed. Best wishes to all on their new responsibilities. A warm welcome to everyone in the Rangla Punjab team. I hope all will fulfil their responsibilities with hard work and dedication, and make a significant contribution to the progress and prosperity of Punjab.”

“The aim of the AAP government is to ensure that the benefits of government schemes reach every deserving citizen without any discrimination. This new team will work as a strong bridge between the administration and the public to achieve the goal,” said the press release.
