The directions were issued through letter numbers 5998-6012, asking the panchayats to transfer the balance amount, after clearing liabilities, to the Block Development and Panchayat Officer account for further submission to the government.

He also demanded that 20% of GMADA's land sale revenue in Mohali be allocated for the city's development....
