Punjab Minister Defends Controversial Land Pooling Policy

In a recent address, Punjab Cabinet Minister Aman Arora criticized opposition parties, accusing them of spreading falsehoods about the government's land pooling policy, which he insists is beneficial for farmers.

Speaking to the media, Arora condemned the opposition, including the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), BJP, and Congress, for allegedly misleading the public. He reiterated that accusations of land confiscation are baseless, emphasizing the transparency of the policy in promoting organized development.

The minister highlighted the contrast between the current and previous governments' approaches and affirmed that the land pooling policy does not obstruct land sale or farming activities. The policy aims to empower landowners with planning and development opportunities and offers financial incentives to participants.
