Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Badal on Monday said that the development of holy city of Amritsar has been taken as a “mission”. “I have initiated monthly review meetings of ongoing development projects of Amritsar. The holy city would have world class heritage entry gate, which is under construction,” said Sukhbir. He said that besides this, the façade from Hall Gate to Darbar Sahib would be originally designed according to its historic look at a cost of Rs50 crore.
“Golden Temple Plaza will have audio-video world class museum with antique traditional belongings of the Sikh history. Gobindgarh Fort would also be developed as world class tourist spot and more than 60 per cent of its work has been completed,” he said. Announcing that Amritsar would witness the operations of Turkish Bus Rapid Transit System by the end of this year, he said that the construction of bus stations has been started, and it would decrease the congestions from the busy areas of the city.
