The Aam Aadmi Party government, led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, is committed to bringing about improvements across every region of Punjab. As part of this initiative, major changes are being implemented in the Animal Husbandry Department to ensure that farmers engaged in animal husbandry have access to modern facilities. Today, Nitin Kohli, the constituency in-charge for Jalandhar Central, formally inaugurated the renovation work of the Jalandhar Veterinary Polyclinic building.
Speaking on the occasion, Nitin Kohli stated that funds totaling ₹40.21 lakh were sanctioned for the building's renovation through the dedicated efforts of Gurmeet Singh Khudian, the Minister for Animal Husbandry, Fisheries, and Dairy Development. He emphasized that the Punjab government is committed to animal healthcare and to strengthening the animal husbandry economy.
Making another significant announcement, Kohli stated that a 'Blue Cross Shop' would be established at the Veterinary Polyclinic, for which the government has already released ₹2.57 lakh. The opening of this shop will enable livestock owners and animal enthusiasts to purchase high-quality medicines at prices lower than those in the open market.
On this occasion, Dr. Ram Murti Mattu, Deputy Director of the Animal Husbandry Department, Jalandhar, welcomed Nitin Kohli and expressed his gratitude. Present on the occasion were Dr. Bhupinder Singh (Deputy Director, NRDDL Jalandhar), Dr. Khushi Kumar (Assistant Director), Dr. Manjit Singh (Assistant Director), Senior Veterinary Officers Dr. Kulwinder Singh (Phillaur), Dr. Jasvir Singh (Jalandhar), and Dr. Jagjit Singh (Nakodar), along with Dr. Harvinder Singh, Dr. Kulwinder Singh, Dr. Shivani, Dr. Alka, Dr. Sumit Kumar, Dr. Harshveta, Gurvinder Singh, Vishal, Subhash Sharma, and others.
In his concluding remarks, Nitin Kohli stated that the Aam Aadmi Party government is utilizing taxpayers' money for public amenities and that the pace of development in the Jalandhar Central Assembly constituency will accelerate further in the coming days.
