Singh described it as yet another example of Punjabis rising to every challenge.
No war since the Independence has led to such loss of lives as the pandemic, he pointed out, adding, 'We have fought together but the war is still on and we have to be prepared for the third wave.' The chief minister recalled that at the time of his first election from Talwandi Sabo, the region was deserted, had minimal facilities, and pointed to the progress made since then, according to a government statement.
