Reiterating Punjab Government’s firm commitment to give further fillip to overall development of the state, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Sunday sanctioned a sum of Rs3.70 crore for the construction of new roads in Mohali.
Badal, presiding over a meeting to review the development works of Mohali with lok Sabha MP Prem Singh Chandumajra at his residence, has asked the officers to ensure the optimum utilisation of these funds so that residents of Mohali could be immensely benefitted from it.
He said that the State Government was making all out efforts to ensure holistic development of all the towns in the State.
Dwelling on another issue, the Chief Minister underscored the need to expedite the process of constructing houses for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) of the society. He asked the officers to make efforts on war footing for providing houses to these poor strata of the society, at the earliest.
Referring to another demand made by lok Sabha MP Chandumajra, Badal assured him that the state government would take up the matter of increasing the frequency of bus service between Chandigarh-Mohali, to and fro, with the UT administration so that residents of Mohali could be immensely benefitted from it.
He asked the officers to submit a detailed plan in this regard so that it could be taken with the UT authorities.
