Jalandhar: US-based North American Punjabi Association (NAPA) has urged the Punjab government to pass a separate NRI legislation in the current Assembly session which needs to be enacted in the state.

Satnam Singh Chahal, executive director, North American Punjabi Association, said, “Presently, there is no separate NRI legislation in the state. State government had not been able to establish even a single exclusive NRI fast-track court in the state so far.”

“The lone NRI court at Jalandhar continues to hear hundreds of cases pending with it. Around 220 cases are heard in the court every day. How would the government ensure speedy justice to NRIs in this scenario?” said Chahal.
