In view of the coming panchayat elections, Municipal Council elections and the Lok Sabha elections, the AAP government has decided to facilitate travel of people of Punjab to various religious places at the government’s expense. A budget of Rs 40 crore has been set aside for running the scheme.
An agenda item, outlining the scheme, has been prepared by the Transport Department and is expected to be taken up for discussion during the Cabinet meeting. If approved by the Cabinet, the scheme will start from December and pilgrims will be sent to various places of religious interest for all religions, on buses and trains.
