Kusum, a woman injured in the accident, told that our family has lived here for 20 years and puts a street vendor of Golgappa. Yesterday we were inside the house; At the same time, the gas tanker exploded. I am not fully aware of how this incident happened. There was a very strong explosion, after that the fire spread.

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee is receiving the threat of bombing the Golden Temple repeatedly. After receiving such threatening e-mail, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has appealed to the people to beware of rumors. He said that his government will not allow any kind of agreement with security.

CM Bhagwant Mann held a meeting with senior police officers including Director General of Police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav in view of the threatening email received by Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC).

‘Will fully deal with anti -national forces’
After this meeting, by posting a post on X, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann wrote, “We will not allow any compromise on the security of Punjab. Our security agencies and Punjab Police are fully alert. I appeal to the people of Punjab not to pay attention to rumors and take precautions. All religious places are holy and venerable to us. We will be fully committed to their safety. We will be fully committed to their safety. We will be fully committed to their protests.

Five e-mails have come in 3 days
SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami said on Wednesday (17 July) that the Gurdwara institution has received 5 emails threatening to blow up the Golden Temple since 14 July. The email sender has not been identified yet. Now the question arises whether these threats were mischief done with some malicious intentions or pointed to a big conspiracy?

People’s concern has increased- Pratap Singh Bajwa
Punjab Leader of Opposition Pratap Singh Bajwa said on Thursday (July 17) that the five threatened emails sent to the Golden Temple have created deep concern among the Sikh community and all the peace -loving people of Punjab. The Congress leader said that the disturbing nature of these threats has increased the concern of the people.

Describing these threats as a cowardly efforts to disturb the hard -achieved peace of Punjab, Pratap Singh Bajwa demanded that the Center and State agencies take immediate action to identify the culprits and bring them to the dock of justice. Punjab has always been a land of common heritage and harmony. From the teachings of Sikh Gurus to the speech of Sufi saints, from temples and gurdwaras to mosques and churches, this earth has always communicated unity.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has taken a tough stand on the issue of water. He also said on the second day of the special session of the Punjab Assembly that Punjab does not have a single drop of excess water to give it to any other state. He said that water is an emotional issue for Punjab and its people and his government is committed to protect every precious water source of the state.

The Chief Minister opposed the deployment of CISF at Bhakra-Nangal Dam and said that the story of Punjab’s water dispute begins in 1955, but the irony is that it has not been re-evaluated from time to time, whereas it should have happened every 25 years.

Bhagwant Mann made this demand from the Government of India
Chief Minister Mann said that Punjab can get a good opportunity for the Western rivers (Indus, Jhelum, Chiinab, Uj, Ujj, Rivers of Kashmir) recently by the decision of the Government of India to postpone Indus Water Treaty. According to PTI, he said that it can provide Punjab to 23 million acres more water, which can fulfill the water needs of the state and farmers. The Chief Minister demanded that water of western rivers be given to Punjab on priority basis and new reservoirs should be constructed above Bhakra and Pong Dam in Himachal Pradesh.

The Chief Minister said that Punjab has highly exploited natural wealth like water and land to make the country self -sufficient in food grains, so now the state should get proper compensation for this. He accused the opposition parties that they have been participating in robbing the water resources of Punjab and have been misleading the public on this emotional issue for the last 6 decades. Mann attacked the opposition and said that some leaders themselves have been involved in the foundation of the Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SYL) canal and are now confusing the public.

Pratap Singh Bajwa has no knowledge of Punjabi language- CM
Mann taunted Leader of Opposition Pratap Singh Bajwa and said that he does not even have knowledge of Punjabi language and Congress leaders should make excuses to avoid being exposed to the public. The Chief Minister said that this house belongs to 3.5 crore people of Punjab and only the person can serve them which they choose.

He accused both the Congress and the BJP of dividing the country on linguistic, communal and regional grounds and said that if these parties leave their divisive politics, the country can touch new heights in every field.
