She said the government has recalled funds worth Rs 13.98 crore from Patiala MC alone. “The development works have been put on halt. Funds were allocated by the previous government. I urge the Chief Minister not to indulge in politics of revenge,” she said.

Accompanied by BJP and PLC leaders, the MP submittted a memorandum to Deputy Commissioner. Mohammad Tayyab, MD, PIDB, said, “The funds were allocated for the development works, which did not commenced. Therefore, the body decided to recall the funds.”
