Expressing concern over the poor condition of the Punjabi language in the state where the language was originated, Likhari Sabha, Barnala, urged the state government to formulate a suitable policy for the promotion and the development of the language. The writers’ body demanded that the state government must make necessary amendments in the state language policy to ensure that the language was used in the government offices. The members of the Sabha held a meeting here today to discuss the present status of the language, the hurdles in its promotion and the means to make it popular among the youth. The meeting was presided over by Pritam Singh Rahi. Jagir Singh Jagtar, vice-president of the Sabha informed that many writers were of the view that the state government should appoint a separate minister for the language. |
