He cautioned that while PM Modi speaks of becoming a Vishwaguru, the current trajectory risks reducing it to a \u201cVishwachela\u201d if timely and effective intervention is not made.<\/p>\n<p>Citing the recent virtual meeting convened by the Prime Minister with Chief Ministers, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated, \u201cA war-like situation in Gulf countries has created panic across the world. The disruption of key sea routes is emerging as a major obstacle in global trade and supply chains.\u201d He highlighted that each state presented its concerns in detail, noting that while some states are dependent on mining or coastal trade, Punjab\u2019s economy is closely tied to agriculture, industry and its border location.<\/p>\n<p>Emphasising the urgency of the situation, he said, \u201cThis is the time for the Prime Minister to step forward and play a responsible role in stopping the war. The strong relationships that the Prime Minister shares with leaders across countries must now be used in the interest of 140 crore Indians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Flagging immediate concerns for Punjab, particularly with the ongoing wheat procurement season, the Chief Minister added, \u201cAs wheat arrivals begin in mandis, it must be ensured that there is no shortage of petrol and diesel in Punjab. Any disruption in fuel supply will directly impact farmers, transportation and procurement operations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CM Bhagwant Singh Mann further remarked, \u201cWe speak of becoming a Vishwaguru, but what we are witnessing suggests we are becoming a Vishwachela. This is the moment for India to translate its global standing into concrete action that protects its people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Calling for urgent and coordinated intervention, the Chief Minister stressed that the Centre must act swiftly to stabilise supply chains, ensure uninterrupted fuel availability, and protect the country from the cascading impact of global instability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PM Modi&#8217;s so-called \u2018strong global ties\u2019 must now be used to protect interests of 140 crore Indians: CM Bhagwant Singh Mann Chandigarh News (28 March 2026): As global tensions escalate in Gulf countries and disruptions in key maritime routes trigger uncertainty across markets, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has called on the Centre to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":62710,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,21,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest","category-political-news","category-punjab"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
