Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal on Wednesday announced that all villages in the State will witness complete facelift in next 5 years as CC flouring to be laid in the streets.
He was on a visit to village Sham Khera in Sri Mukatsar Sahib district where all streets having 4 km length were constructed with CC flouring at a cost of Rs16.61 crore besides 100 per cent drinking water facilities costing Rs26.62 crore.Badal said that it would be second biggest project being initiated by the SAD-BJP Government after making Punjab a power surplus State across the nation.
It is pertinent to mention here that earlier Ratta Khera and Mandi Kilianwali villages in this district have CC flooring in the streets.Deputy CM said CC flooring project would be implemented in a phased manner by the Rural Development and Panchayats Department by kicking off in another 35 villages of lambi constituency as ordinary bricks streets were not durable due to water logging in these areas.Badal said Punjab Government would sign a MOU with cement companies to provide cement on control rates for public works especially CC flouring and construction of water works to reduce the project costs.
