Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann announced that the Sant Attar Singh Medical College in Sangrur, Punjab, is on track to open soon after overcoming a land dispute that had stalled the project. Initially budgeted at ₹407 crore (approximately $49 million USD), the estimated cost has risen to about ₹700 crore (around $84 million USD) by 2025.

He emphasized the importance of modern healthcare facilities, noting that previously, patients had to be referred to larger cities like Sangrur, Patiala, and Ludhiana due to inadequate local resources.
