Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Saturday said his government was exploring the possibility of moving court to seek the Rural Development Fund dues of Rs 3,000 crore from the Centre.
He stated this after announcing the closure of a toll plaza on the Kiratpur Sahib-Nangal-Una road, according to an official release.
Mr Mann said the state government was exploring the possibility of moving court to seek the dues from the Centre.
He alleged that the Union government was "unnecessarily harassing" the state by stalling the release of Rs 3,000 crore dues under the Rural Development Fund (RDF).
Bhagwant Mann said the state government had completed all the formalities but the Centre was deliberately stalling the release of the amount.
Last month, the chief minister had raised the issue of the release of RDF dues with Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav.
