care of each and every section of society and added that the
government has given unmatched facilities to the people of Punjab.

yet another imporant decision wherein farmers will be given interest
free loan for upto Rs 1 lacs. She said that in event of natural
disaster, the farmer tries to fulfill his needs by taking money on
interest from banks or money lenders and burdens himself. In order to
bring respite to the farmers, they are being given this interest free
loan. Responding to another media query she said that following the
efforts of Punjab Chief Minister Mr Parkash Singh Badal, the names of
people mentioned in blacklist who had to leave nation during
terrorism, are being removed from the list. This would enable such
