He said a notification had been issued regarding 10,000 vacancies in the Police Department.

Mann said from July 1, beneficiaries would get wheat for four months in one go, instead of three months under the Public Distribution System.

He added that he hadn’t relied on the Central Government for funds. As the Centre hasn’t released our funds, we would arrange them on our own, he said.

Criticising the Badal family, Mann said those who had claimed that they would rule the state for 25 years, were facing serious political crisis. The CM said for the first time, SAD was supporting the BSP candidate in Jalandhar (West) Assembly bypoll.

He pointed out that they would construct a medical college at Mastuana Sahib despite obstacles.
