Confusion over Punjab AG’s status remains

CHANDIGARH:  There is a question mark over the resignation of Punjab Advocate General Amar Preet Singh Deol as he continues to remain in office and has denied that he resigned.  

Deol said that he has not resigned and nor been asked to put in his papers. He had met CM Charanjit Singh Channi on Monday. Sources had  that he put in his papers.
