Chandigarh, Jan24,2012: Captain Amarinder Singh, president of Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee, has promised all amenities to Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), if elected to power in Punjab.
Singh said that if the Congress party is voted to power then there would be a special department to address the grievances of the NRIs and also a proposal of a special NRI court would be taken up with the state chief justice. “I just want to tell you, we have decided that when our government is formed, we will open an NRI centre in the Chief Minister’s office, so that day to day contract and pressure can be maintained. The second problem that you have told us is when you make investments here you get entangled in court cases,” Singh said on Saturday. “It is impossible for you to make regular trios to India for court cases. We have put it in our manifesto that we will take it up with the Chief Justice of Punjab to make special courts for NRIs so that on a day to day basis cases are taken and disposed off soon,” he added. Punjab is one of five states due to hold elections this year. As per the schedule planned by Election Commission, the state assembly poll in Punjab would be held on January 30.
