Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Sunday trained guns on BJP's Gurdaspur MP Sunny Deol for his "absence" from the constituency, reminding him that politics means serving and being available to constituents round the clock.

It is not a nine to five job, Mann remarked while taking a dig at Deol.

Addressing a gathering here, Mann declared giving a major fillip to the development of Pathankot district and said the state government will explore the feasibility of giving a special industrial and trade package to the border town.

The chief minister was addressing the gathering during a 'Sarkaar Vyapaar Milni' programme, during which he also said he will personally take the issue of starting flights from the Pathankot airport to Delhi with the Centre.

He said massive efforts are already afoot to give a boost to the tourism industry in this area as it is blessed with natural beauty.

Mann said he can bet that Deol must not be aware where Dhar Kalan or Chamrod is located in Pathankot.
