Photographs of CM Parkash Singh Badal have finally been removed from 108 ambulances. Despite facing a strong onslaught by the Opposition, the ruling SAD-BJP government had held on to those pictures for long.
On Independence Day, the Punjab Government distributed cycles to students under the Mai Bhago Scheme without the earlier flagship picture of the Chief Minister. Jatinder Sharma, Project Director of 108 ambulances, said that he had got orders from the state government a week back citing the orders of the Supreme Court regarding the ban on the use of pictures of the CM and ministers for advertisement purposes. Following that, the photographs had been removed.
