Channi said in his first press conference after taking the oath, ‘We will waive the water and electricity bills of the farmers.’ Punjab CM said, ‘Punjab government is standing with the farmers. We appeal to the Center to withdraw three agriculture laws. If these three laws are not withdrawn, then agriculture will end and every family of Punjab will be affected.
