Considered to give a big push to strengthen the State’s infrastructure, Punjab Government has initiated the process for six-laning the Kharar-ludhiana road.
“This ambitious project would be completed with the estimated cost of Rs 600 crore, and the work would start from March, next year,” said the state Public Works Department Minister Sharanjit Singh Dhillon. Referring to the Kharar-ludhiana stretch as a “lifeline of entire Malwa region”, Dhillon said that this project would include 68-kilometer stretch from
Sector-38 Chandigarh to ludhiana via Kharar, which would be converted into six lane. Dhillon added that 175 km road from Sambhu Border–Jalandhar with the cost of Rs 1,500 crore, 44 km from Bhogpur-Mukerian with Rs 300 crore, 102 km from Pathankot to Amritsar with Rs 705 crore and 78 km from ludhiana to
Talwandi worth Rs 479 crore have also been under construction. “SAD-BJP Government is committed for overall development of the state and in future, more road construction projects would be started for the public convenience,” he added.
