Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Pargat Singh on Monday, 9 November, said a Congress government in Punjab would formulate a comprehensive industrial policy tailored to the needs of the industry. He spoke after visiting the Shri Vishwakarma Temple in Phagwara with Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa on Vishwakarma Day. Singh said the party would focus on promoting small and medium industries, creating employment, addressing problems of business owners and connecting traditional industries with modern technology. He said the Congress aims to restore Punjab’s position among the leading industrial states. Bajwa said a favourable environment for industrialists, workers and artisans would strengthen the state’s economy and generate jobs for youth.
