Whatever works are feasible; they will be done on priority, said the Chief Minister.
The Chief Minister said this after he visited CDLU on Wednesday for the inauguration and foundation stone laying programme of various projects of Sirsa district.

With the construction of a medical college, the people of the district and the nearby area will get the benefit of this medical college.
Responding to queries of the media persons, the Chief Minister said that amid the ban on the export of wheat, the government has decided that for the benefit of the farmers the procurement of wheat would continue in the mandis for the next ten days. So far, wheat has been procured at MSP in the mandis of the state.
