He said that the residents wanted that the sale of flats be considered as sale as in case of other properties, instead of transfer of membership as was happening presently.

Bansal talked about various developmental works undertaken during past 10 years. Bansal said that union government had given huge grants for developing infrastructure for Panjab University and now this university had got a place among top 100 universities of the world.
