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?
Buses standing idle, terminals shut, and passengers stranded, Punjab’s transport system has slipped into chaos again. Contractual employees of Punjab Roadways and PRTC are on strike against the Kilometre Scheme, which they argue hands Government routes to private operators and threatens existing jobs, wages, and the future of public transport. And yet, AAP continues to boast about reforms and new schemes, painting a picture of smooth governance. While workers protest and the transport network collapses, where are Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and his Transport Minister, fixing the problem or preparing another press conference?
बसें खड़ी, बस स्टैंड बंद और यात्री परेशान, पंजाब की परिवहन व्यवस्था एक बार फिर अव्यवस्था में डूब गई है। पंजाब रोडवेज और PRTC के संविदा कर्मचारी किलोमीटर स्कीम के खिलाफ हड़ताल पर हैं। उनका कहना है कि यह स्कीम सरकारी रूट निजी बस मालिकों को सौंपती है, जिससे नौकरियां, वेतन और सरकारी परिवहन व्यवस्था खतरे में पड़ जाएगी। फिर भी, AAP सरकार योजनाओं और सुधारों की बड़ी-बड़ी बातें कर रही है, जैसे सब कुछ बिल्कुल ठीक चल रहा हो। तो असली सवाल ये है, जब कर्मचारी सड़क पर हैं और परिवहन व्यवस्था चरमराई हुई है, मुख्यमंत्री भगवंत मान और उनके परिवहन मंत्री कहां हैं? समस्या हल करने में लगे हैं या अगली प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस की तैयारी में?
Manpreet Singh Badal, a four-time MLA from Gidderbaha (1995 bypoll, 1997, 2002, 2007), contested from Maur in 2012, and later shifted to Bathinda Urban in 2017, winning as a Congress candidate. He returned to Gidderbaha and contested the 2024 bypoll as a BJP candidate, securing only 12,227 votes despite high-profile campaigning. Considering his political experience, the fact that his father Gurdas Singh Badal was once MLA from Lambi, and the emotional significance of Lambi as the Badal family’s historic stronghold, is there a possibility that Manpreet might contest from two constituencies in 2027, Gidderbaha and Lambi?
