Punjab Assembly legislative resolutions

Overview

The Punjab Assembly has passed several unanimous resolutions addressing electoral integrity, resource rights, and social welfare.

Initially, the Assembly passed a resolution to protect voter rights following the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema called for constitutional safeguards and an independent investigation into reported discrepancies and large-scale deletions in the rolls to prevent the exclusion of eligible citizens.

In subsequent legislative action, the Assembly passed eight resolutions covering diverse regional interests. These included demands for an equitable share of Yamuna waters, control over specific irrigation headworks, and the execution of the Ujh Multipurpose Project. The House also rejected the Dam Safety Act, 2021, and addressed river water royalties.

On social policy, the Assembly passed a resolution to ensure the continued delivery of public welfare schemes, such as free domestic electricity and financial assistance for farmers and families. Additionally, the House requested that the Union Government reopen the Sri Kartarpur Sahib Corridor.
