In last successive years, Punjab produced more than 13 million tons of wheat, contributing 30% to the nation's food reserves.

When will Governments pay attention to ensure that the buffer stock doesn't run out or that private parties don’t manipulate the situation, which the public may not fully understand?
The Punjab Vigilance Bureau has filed a chargesheet of around 40,000 pages against senior Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia in a drug- money case. With the 2027 Assembly elections approaching, the case puts the party in a difficult spot as it seeks to regain its political footing. The court is yet to decide the case. Can the Shiromani Akali Dal keep its 2027 comeback campaign focused on Punjab’s future while one of its senior leaders faces a major legal battle ?
पंजाब विजिलेंस ब्यूरो ने नशे के पैसे से जुड़े एक मामले में शिरोमणि अकाली दल के वरिष्ठ नेता बिक्रम सिंह मजीठिया के खिलाफ लगभग 40,000 पन्नों की चार्जशीट दाखिल की है। 2027 के विधानसभा चुनाव नजदीक आने के साथ, यह मामला पार्टी के लिए चुनौती बन सकता है, क्योंकि वह अपनी राजनीतिक पकड़ फिर से मजबूत करने की कोशिश कर रही है। अदालत ने अभी इस मामले में फैसला नहीं सुनाया है। क्या शिरोमणि अकाली दल अपने एक वरिष्ठ नेता की कानूनी लड़ाई के बीच 2027 के चुनावों में पंजाब के भविष्य पर अपना ध्यान बनाए रख पाएगा ?
With reports suggesting that BJP–Shiromani Akali Dal alliance talks are nearing a deal, the big question is who would lead Punjab if the partnership returns to power. If Sukhbir Singh Badal expects to reclaim the chief minister’s post, BJP leaders with their own CM ambitions may have to rethink their plans. Seat-sharing talks could be about more than numbers, they may also shape who gets the top chair. If the BJP agrees to contest fewer seats and backs a renewed alliance, would its leaders be giving up their own CM ambitions to make room for Sukhbir Badal or is the top post still the biggest unresolved bargain ?
