The Centre has disclosed that Punjab's debt has risen to Rs 4.13 lakh crore. This figure is substantially higher than that of other states, including Himachal Pradesh, which has a debt of approximately one-third of Punjab's. The significant difference in debt between these two states underscores the financial challenges faced by Punjab.
