Punjab: CM raps Congress leaders for making irresponsible statements

Chandigarh, Mar 27 (UNI) Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Thursday rapped the Congress leaders, especially the Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa, for making "irresponsible and irrelevant" statements and indulging in theatrics just to "satiate their lust" for hogging the media limelight.
Addressing the gathering during the Assembly session, he quipped that those who habitually obstruct the session often stage walk out on trivial issues to get media attention.
Training his guns at the opposition, Mann said it is unfortunate that the opposition was questioning the credentials of eminent environmentalist Sant Baba Balbir Singh Seechewal. The CM said those asking about Baba Seechewal's degrees have forgotten that their leader Rahul Gandhi, who has a degree from Cambridge, has done nothing credible for the country.

Lucknow, Apr 9 (UNI) The Uttar Pradesh government has launched a strategic initiative to further elevate the status of potato crop by setting up an International Potato Research Centre in Agra and upcoming Centres of Excellence in Saharanpur and Kushinagar, official sources said here on Wednesday
Sources said that UP leads the country in potato production, contributing over 35 percent to India's total yield. "The state's productivity is also higher than the national average, which ranges between 23 to 25 tonnes per hectare and there is strong potential for further improvement. However, a key challenge remains which is the lack of region-specific research and innovation tailored to the agro-climatic conditions of UP. Even the available research often fails to reach farmers in a timely and effective manner," they said.
