The flood of off-season vegetables and fruits in the market is a direct and clear indication that these vegetables are being grown using excessive amounts of growth regulators, pesticides, and fungicides, which are very harmful to health.

Neither the enforcement agencies are paying attention to this, nor are buyers thinking about from where these off-season crops are coming?
Aman Arora has accused the BJP of using central agencies and financial pressure to expand its political influence, questioning the massive difference in donations received by the two parties. But after nearly four and a half years in power in Punjab, a tougher question can also be asked of the Aam Aadmi Party itself. If Punjab's industries continue to complain about high costs, businesses remain cautious about investment, unemployment remains a concern and the state's debt continues to grow, is AAP still running on the politics of accusation rather than the politics of accountability ? As ministers point fingers at Delhi, are Punjabis entitled to ask what exactly has changed on the ground after four and a half years of AAP rule ?
अमन अरोड़ा ने भाजपा पर केंद्रीय एजेंसियों और आर्थिक दबाव का इस्तेमाल कर राजनीतिक प्रभाव बढ़ाने का आरोप लगाया है और दोनों पार्टियों को मिलने वाले चंदे में भारी अंतर पर सवाल उठाए हैं। लेकिन लगभग साढ़े चार साल से पंजाब की सत्ता में रहने के बाद एक कठिन सवाल आम आदमी पार्टी से भी पूछा जा सकता है। यदि पंजाब के उद्योग अब भी बढ़ती लागतों की शिकायत कर रहे हैं, निवेशक अब भी सतर्क हैं, बेरोज़गारी चिंता का विषय बनी हुई है और राज्य का कर्ज लगातार बढ़ रहा है, तो क्या 'आप' अभी भी जवाबदेही की राजनीति के बजाय आरोपों की राजनीति कर रही है ? जब मंत्री दिल्ली की ओर उंगली उठाते हैं, तो क्या पंजाब के लोगों को यह पूछने का अधिकार नहीं है कि साढ़े चार साल के 'आप' शासन में ज़मीन पर वास्तव में क्या बदला है ?
Punjab's ASHA workers have once again taken to the streets, demanding a minimum monthly wage of ₹24,000 and the restoration of allowances, even breaking through police barricades to make their voices heard. Yet the bigger political question is this: How can a government that regularly speaks about strengthening healthcare continue to face anger from the very women who form its frontline health workforce ? As Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema manages the state's finances and Health Minister Dr. Balbir Singh oversees the health system, are Punjab's ground-level health workers being valued as essential partners or treated as an afterthought once the speeches are over ?
