THE chief minister of Punjab, Charanjit Singh Channi, dedicated three projects to the people in Jalandhar on December 24. These projects are in the memory of great freedom fighter, prominent communist leader & long time general secretary of CPI(M), Comrade Harkishan Singh Surjeet at his native village Bundala Manjhki ( Jalandhar). The chief minister placed a 'Harkishan Singh Surjeet Marg'(name of the road) plaque on the road from Barapind to  Jandiala. Comrade Surjeet was once elected as an MLA from Barapind constituency. 

He also put a new board on Government Smart Senior Secondary School which has been named "Harkishan Singh Surjeet Smart Senior Secondary School". It may be mentioned here that Comrade Surjeet was rusticated from this school for his patriotic activities during the British period. 

The chief minister also announced the setting up of a Government Nursing College at Bundala in the memory of Comrade Surjeet for his great role in the freedom struggle and in defence of democracy and unity and integrity of the country. 

The chief minister along with Sukhwinder Singh Sekhon, state secretary, CPI(M) Punjab addressed a well-attended gathering of people from the area.  Sekhon thanked the chief minister for recognising the sacrifices and statesmanship of Comrade Surjeet.
