Ahilyabai Holkar:  a living embodiment of Nari Shakti

He said that Mateshwari Ahilyabai Holkar was born on May 31, 1725, in Chaundi village of Maharashtra. At a time when women were largely denied access to governance, education, and personal freedom, Ahilyabai defied societal norms and emerged as a shining embodiment of Nari Shakti (women’s power). She proved that when a woman remains steadfast in her duty, she has the power to transform an entire era. Ahilyabai Holkar was not just a ruler, she was a living example of “Nari Shakti” who gave tax relief to farmers, promoted trade, and ensured equal opportunities for all sections of society. Following the path she showed, Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi is now working with determination to realize the vision of a developed India by the year 2047.

Ahilyabai Holkar rebuilt India’s major pilgrimage sites

He said that today, as India proudly showcases its cultural identity to the world, it is important to remember the unique role Lokmata Ahilyabai played in preserving that heritage. Ahilyabai undertook the remarkable task of rebuilding nearly every major pilgrimage site in the country whether it was the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Somnath, Mathura, Ayodhya, Badrinath, or Rameswaram. She not only constructed temples but also revitalized religion, culture, and faith across the nation. In recognition of her immense contributions, her statue was installed at Kashi Vishwanath in 2019 by the gracious hands of Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi.

Under the Prime Minister’s leadership, Indian Army destroys terrorist hideouts under Operation Sindoor; our daughters play key role

The Chief Minister said that Ahilyabai’s life demonstrates that a woman embodies not only tenderness but also determination and leadership. She was a perfect blend of love and valor. He added that under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi, the country is rapidly progressing on the path of development, with our daughters making significant contributions in every field. Condemning the Pahalgam attack, the Chief Minister stated that terrorists had cruelly targeted the family members of our sisters and daughters in front of their eyes. Following this incident, Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi resolved that the time had come to wipe out the remaining ground of terrorism. Acting on this resolve, the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor, successfully destroying terrorist hideouts, with brave daughters Vyomika Singh and Sofia Qureshi playing vital roles.

The State Government ensures equal development of all sections and regions with the spirit of ‘Haryana Ek-Haryanvi Ek’

The Punjab Small Industries and Export Corporation (PSIEC) has taken a significant step toward enhancing land use efficiency with the approval of a comprehensive policy for the clubbing and de-clubbing of plots. Addressing a press conference at Punjab Bhawan, Industries and Investment Promotion Minister Tarunpreet Singh Sond announced the launch of a broad policy allowing clubbing and de-clubbing of industrial plots.

He said that the decision aims to address the long-standing demand from industrialists and property owners for a structured and transparent mechanism for clubbing and de-clubbing of plots under PSIEC. This decision addresses long-standing demands from industrial stakeholders to merge or divide contiguous plots to optimize land usage, boost operational efficiencies, and support project expansion. The policy applies to all plots under PSIEC’s jurisdiction, including those within focal points and industrial estates, excluding booths and sheds.

He said that as per notification, applications for clubbing or de-clubbing will be considered if the plots are owned by the same entity, i.e. the ownership of the proposed plots to be clubbed or de-clubbed shall be the same, and all outstanding dues are cleared at the time of application. The proposed clubbed plots should be on the same pattern i.e. freehold or leasehold and shall be have executed lease deeds/conveyance deeds (As applicable).  A fee of one percent of the current reserve price of the total area of plots, or a maximum of ₹50 lakh, whichever is lower, will be applicable.

The minister clarified that de-clubbing will only be permitted in accordance with the original layout plans, and all approvals will be subject to building by-laws, zoning regulations, and environmental compliance. Sond asserted that this policy will pave the way for greater efficiency and optimal land use in the state’s industrial zones.

Tarunpreet Singh Sond also informed about the formation of an Appellate Authority for reinstating/re-alloting cancelled plots allotted by the Punjab Small Industries and Export Corporation (PSIEC).

He stated that under various earlier schemes, numerous industrial plots were cancelled due to reasons such as failure to commence production within the stipulated period, violation of zoning norms, or default in payment of instalments. To address this issue and support industrial development, the Punjab Government under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has constituted this Appellate Authority.

The Appellate Authority, notified on May 7, 2025, will provide a dedicated platform for affected allottees to appeal against cancellations and seek reinstatement of their plots. A comprehensive policy regarding clubbing and de-clubbing of industrial plots under PSIEC was notified on May 19, 2025.

Sond explained that approximately 700 plots were previously cancelled, and despite repeated requests from allottees, the earlier restoration policy, which was valid until March 31, 2022, had lapsed without resolution. The government has now responded to these demands by introducing a structured mechanism to offer fair hearings and transparent resolutions.

He further emphasized that the Appellate Authority will not only reduce unnecessary litigation but also ensure procedural clarity and support units facing genuine difficulties. The affected allottees now have the opportunity to file appeals for restoration of their plots by September 30, 2025. In future cases, appeals can be filed within six months of the date of cancellation.

Sond expressed confidence that these historic decisions will create new opportunities for entrepreneurs and businesses in Punjab’s industrial, commercial, and residential sectors. He reiterated the state government’s firm commitment to promoting industrial growth and assured continuous efforts to take Punjab’s industry to greater heights.
