The Z-effects is specially launched to provide more benefits to the industrialist that will seek Z- certification from MSME.

Ludhiana is an industrial hub; therefore we decided to launch the schemes from the city to encourage Punjab industrialists who are serving a lot of countries economy.
Congress decided to burn CM Badal effigy
On the other hand, Congress has made planned to protest on Chandigarh roads under the leadership of PPCC president Capt Amarinder Singh. Congress would burn the effigy of ‘Chitta’Raavan while sticking the image of CM Prakash Singh Badal on it.
Giriraj said on this the Congress protest will have no effect on their event. He further said Earlier Congress was burning the entire country and now they are burning effigies, so I don’t think it will effect even the common man.
