Punjab High Court slams Punjab government, asks why it dissolved panchayats

Chandigarh News: The Punjab High Court took a strong stand against the Punjab government for dissolving panchayats before the completion of their term. The court asked by what authority the decision to dissolve the panchayats was taken. How can the government take back their rights from the elected representatives of the people without any reason? 
On the ban on the funds of panchayats, the High Court asked how the funds received from the Center can be used for flood relief in such a situation. The high court has now ordered the Punjab government to file a reply by August 31.
