He urged officers to prioritize the use of quality materials in construction and ensure timely project completion.

Since Panchayats Secretaries have strong relationships with local farmers, Deputy Commissioner also encouraged them to engage with farmers about the harmful effects of stubble burning. He also called on officials to educate farmers on the benefits of sustainable stubble disposal techniques that enhance soil health using appropriate farm equipment. .
Jorwal reaffirmed the Punjab Government’s commitment, under Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, to support farmers in adopting environmentally friendly farming practices.
