The file was duly received by the CMO on December 31, 2021, the statement said.
“I advise the chief minister to give a reply to the queries raised on the file,” Purohit said, adding that the Bill will be re-examined at the Governor’s Secretariat after receiving the reply.

The Governor concluded the tour on December 21 and thereafter, on December 23, CM Punjab came and met him at Punjab Raj Bhawan.
