Chandigarh, October 14

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Brahm Mohindra today hit out at AAP national convener and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal for his promise of ending red-tapism in Punjab.

Suggesting Kejriwal to update himself, the Minister said the state government had already executed the Punjab Anti-Red Tape Act, 2021, to promote effective administration of public affairs through simplified and trust-based procedures that shall expedite processes and make governance efficient.

Mohindra said he himself had moved the anti-red tape Bill during the Vidhan Sabha session on March 10. The law allows the government to impose a fine of up to Rs 50,000 or dismiss an employee over unnecessary delay in providing services to citizens and businessmen. — TNS
