The exposure of large-scale scams involving regional development authorities suggests significant regulatory risk and questions regarding the financial integrity of public infrastructure projects in the area. These allegations involve high-level political figures and state governance.

Land issues surfaced across Punjab in August, including prime land sales in Mohali, land use diversions in Ludhiana, and ED record seizures in Amritsar.
