The billions worth of government land that previous governments left lying waste for decades is now being made a key to ‘development'.

Chandigarh, November 9, 2025: Under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, government lands that have been lying idle and gathering dust for years are now being transformed into foundations for development.

The billions worth of government land that previous governments left lying waste for decades is now being made a key to ‘development’. These invaluable properties of PUDA, GLADA, and other departments remained inactive for so long because allegedly, a certain class was indirectly occupying or misusing them. This situation was a clear indication of holding back the state’s progress, but now the government has started decisive action, breaking this decades-old deadlock.

The Mann government clearly states that the politics of obstruction will no longer continue, and every resource will be used directly for public benefit. Under this policy, vacant lands are immediately being put to use in major projects. For example, the PUDA colony land in Budhlada that had been lying idle for years is now being used to build a modern and large mandi for local farmers. Similarly, the unused land owned by PunAgro in Ludhiana is now planned to become an international-level convention center, which will give a major boost to investment and business in Punjab.

This action has created a stir in political corridors. While the government calls it proof of honesty and rapid development, some opposition parties are raising objections. Political observers believe that those who are questioning these development-oriented decisions today were actually protectors of that old system under which these lands remained useless and stuck in disputes for years. This is a clear indication that those people who had been holding Punjab back don’t like this pace of progress at all. The government’s clear stance is that the politics of obstruction and stagnation will no longer work. This is a fight for rights, and now the first right over every resource of Punjab will belong to the common public, not to any particular corrupt class.
