AFTER the scrapping of the controversial land pooling scheme, the cash-strapped Punjab government finds itself in a dilemma as it attempts to mop up revenue to fund their welfare schemes. Now, in order to raise a loan for this purpose, the government is eyeing to mortgage properties worth ₹20,000 crore, under the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA).
