Chandigarh, January 21
Punjab Tourism and Cultural Affairs Minister Tarunpreet Singh Sond has categorically stated that there are no plans to restart the Jal Bus service. He dismissed recent media reports suggesting the government’s intention to relaunch the service as baseless rumors.
Minister Sond strongly criticized the previous governments for investing approximately Rs. 8.63 crore in the Jal Bus project, deeming it a wasteful expenditure that burdened the people of Punjab. He highlighted that the Jal Bus was a symbol of corruption and is currently under investigation due to concerns regarding its operational safety.

He emphasized that the government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, will not undertake any projects that could jeopardize public safety or misuse public funds. Minister Sond assured the public that the Jal Bus, which was a loss-making venture with minimal revenue generation, will not be relaunched under any circumstances. He described the project as a “super fail” that represents the misgovernance of previous administrations.
