Before seeking votes in the Panjab University Campus Student Council Elections 2026, CYSS or ASAP must answer the students.
In July 2023, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann announced nearly ₹50 crore for new hostels at Panjab University. In March 2024, Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema announced a ₹40 crore budget allocation. Yet, by January 2026, out of the ₹48.92 crore sanctioned, only around ₹5 crore (10%) had been released.
If the funds were sanctioned, why has Panjab University still not received the full amount?
The hostel projects were announced by the Chief Minister during his visit to Panjab University. When will those announcements finally become reality?
Since 2023, students have been told in every election that hostel funds are coming. How much longer are students expected to wait? When will these hostels actually be built?
Students deserve accountability, not repeated promises. CYSS or ASAP must answer.
