Pb govt open to amend debt waiver scheme: Governor

News, Punjab

Chandigarh: The Punjab government is open to amending its farmers' debt relief scheme in accordance with their feedback, even as the Centre is yet to take a call on the state's request for financial support for the loan waiver, Governor V P Singh Badnore said today.

He made the remarks on the opening day of the budget session of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha, amid the Assembly proceedings being skipped by Akali and BJP legislators, who staged a rally to protest the alleged failure of the state government in implementing full debt waiver.
