Presiding over a meeting of the Punjab State Minorities Commission here, he asked the Local Government and Rural Development and Panchayats Department to provide land for burial ground to both these communities either from the panchayat or municipal or in case of non-availability of such land; the requisite land would be even purchased for this social cause.
The Chief Minister also asked the Chairman of Punjab state Minorities Commission Munawar Masih, who put forth these demands on behalf of the Christian community in the meeting to immediately provide the list of such towns and villages to the state government where there were no cemeteries to enable the government to take a prompt action in this regard.
