Regional Reports Highlight Punjab's Police Probe, Political Influence, and Public Concerns
Two regional reports highlight distinct issues in Punjab. Hindustan Times details a halted police probe into a pharmacy exam cheating racket involving large bribes and arrests, alongside political tensions over the Centre blocking Punjab's health scheme at PGIMER. The Tribune covers Rajwinder Kaur's rising political influence, VIP convoy traffic disruptions in Amritsar, and contrasting views between Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains and his wife on police actions during NEET protests. Both sources maintain largely neutral tones with some political nuances.
