*GRIEVANCES OF NRI PUNJABIS FROM FOUR DISTRICTS HEARD DURING 'NRI MILNI-2026' HELD AT LUDHIANA*
Punjab NRI Affairs Minister Dr. Ravjot Singh today asserted that every issue concerning Non-Resident Punjabis will be addressed in a transparent, fair and time-bound manner. He said the Punjab Government is making sustained efforts to ensure the prompt and effective resolution of grievances faced by Punjabis living abroad.
Addressing Non-Resident Punjabis during the 'NRI Milni-2026' organised at Sohan Lal Pahwa Auditorium in Ludhiana, Dr. Ravjot Singh said the objective of this special programme was to hear the grievances of NRIs and ensure immediate and on the spot action by the concerned authorities for their resolution.
A large number of Non-Resident Punjabis belonging to the districts of Ludhiana, Sangrur, Barnala and Malerkotla participated in the event. Prominent amongst those present were Secretary NRI Affairs, Mohammad Tayyab, Divisional Commissioner Jalandhar Ramvir Singh, Special Secretary, NRI Affairs, Amandeep Kaur, Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Jain, and other senior officers of the concerned departments.
Interacting with the media, Dr. Ravjot Singh said that Punjabis settled abroad continue to maintain a deep bond with their roots, culture and heritage and have earned global recognition for both Punjab and India. He said that under the directions of Chief Minister S. Bhagwant Singh Mann, every NRI-related matter is being heard and resolved in a fair, transparent and time-bound manner.
He said that the majority of complaints received from NRIs relate to property disputes, illegal occupation of land, documentary irregularities and matrimonial issues. Every year, nearly 5,000 to 6,000 complaints are received, with a substantial number being resolved either through mutual settlement or the due legal process.
Dr. Ravjot Singh said that he is personally monitoring cases that have remained pending for a long time or where proceedings have been delayed. He said such matters are being reviewed regularly with the concerned officers to ensure their early disposal.
The NRIs thanked the Punjab Government for organising this event.
