Punjab gives in, agrees to remove Mann photo for ₹650 cr Central fund

Of the 881 AAP Clinics (AACs) being run across the state, 650 will be co-branded, and the photo of CM Bhagwant Mann will be removed from their facade, government sources said.

That's the result of almost 18-month tussle between the state government and the BJP-led Centre. In all these months, the Mann-led government did not receive funds under the National Health Mission (NHM).
