I asked him how? He said that after 300 units of electricity were freed, women started saving money. Earlier, people used to settle accounts with me every three months. Now they pay me every 10 days because they are saving money on electricity, treatment and their children’s school fees. ,He mainly benefited the campaign against drugs, as they are often the most affected by drug addiction in their families.

Today, women are moving forward in every field. ,Highlighting the ongoing efforts to train women leaders, Mann said, “Today, we have sent about 350 women sarpanches and panchs from Fatehgarh Sahib for training at government expense from Maharashtra. The government is tolerating the cost of their living, food and travel. We are working with full commitment for strong women, and in the coming days, we will see emotional results.
