Interacting with media persons here today, the Chief Minister said that the state government has consistently given top priority to these core sectors, which are of paramount importance to the public.

Meanwhile, the Chief Minister said that unity in diversity is a defining feature of India, where communal harmony, brotherhood, and fraternity remain deeply rooted.
Illustrating his point, he said that just as a bouquet of diverse flowers appears beautiful and draws attention, a country enriched with varied cultures and traditions is powerful and united. Bhagwant Singh Mann expressed hope that this historic visit would further strengthen the ties between Tamil Nadu and Punjab, ushering in a new era of progress and prosperity for both states.
