When nearly 40% of rural women in Punjab are hypertensive, this is no longer just a medical finding, it’s a governance test. These women are ageing faster, working harder, and falling sick quietly, while policy focus stays fixed on cash schemes and announcements. If hypertension is rising across districts like Amritsar and Ludhiana, among illiterate and labouring women, why isn’t routine screening, nutrition counselling, and village-level prevention a political priority ? Is the Punjab Government treating women’s health as a headline issue or only as an afterthought once elections, not emergencies, arrive ?
Proposals - SUNLO
A) Punjab’s health policy talks welfare, not long-term care.
B) Women’s chronic illness lacks political urgency.
C) Rural health prevention is missing from governance planning.
D) Ignoring this now will raise both health and fiscal costs later.
After a brief stint as Chief Minister, Charanjit Singh Channi has again begun signalling his ambitions for 2027. But inside the Punjab Congress, confusion over the CM face refuses to settle. The party has been here before. Leadership uncertainty, public mixed signals, and delayed decisions once led to Captain Amarinder Singh walking away from the Congress altogether. If the party avoids naming Channi as its CM choice in 2027, will he quietly wait or does Punjab Congress risk repeating history by pushing another leader to the edge ? In a state where leadership clarity often decides loyalty, can Congress afford another episode of drift at the top ?
मुख्यमंत्री के रूप में थोड़े समय के कार्यकाल के बाद, चरणजीत सिंह चन्नी ने 2027 को लेकर फिर से अपने संकेत देने शुरू कर दिए हैं। लेकिन पंजाब कांग्रेस के भीतर मुख्यमंत्री चेहरे को लेकर असमंजस अब भी बना हुआ है। पार्टी यह स्थिति पहले भी देख चुकी है। नेतृत्व को लेकर अनिश्चितता, सार्वजनिक रूप से मिले-जुले संकेत और फैसलों में देरी ने ही एक समय कैप्टन अमरिंदर सिंह को कांग्रेस छोड़ने पर मजबूर कर दिया था। अगर पार्टी 2027 में चन्नी को मुख्यमंत्री चेहरा घोषित करने से बचती है, तो क्या वह चुपचाप इंतज़ार करेंगे या फिर कांग्रेस एक और नेता को किनारे धकेल कर इतिहास दोहराने का जोखिम उठा रही है ? जिस राज्य में नेतृत्व की स्पष्टता अक्सर वफादारी तय करती है, क्या कांग्रेस शीर्ष स्तर पर एक और भटकाव झेल सकती है ?
With shootings, gang violence and extortion becoming regular headlines across Punjab, the focus now turns squarely to Bhagwant Mann. When killings happen in public places, during social functions, and criminals appear to act without fear, it raises a basic issue of governance. Law and order is the first duty of a state, when it breaks down, excuses lose meaning. If Punjab is slipping into fear and lawlessness under his watch, should Bhagwant Mann take responsibility and step down ?
