Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal today took stock of the ongoing development projects in the city and issued directions to the senior officers of the state as well as executing agencies to expedite the work so that these projects could be accomplished before December 2015.

Reiterating his resolve to develop the holy city as one of the most beautiful cities in the country, Sukhbir said all-round development and beautification of Amritsar, besides creation of eco-friendly environment was one of the top-priority of the SAD-BJP government. He said the state was paying special attention towards this city so that not only residents but also lakhs of tourists visiting Amritsar could be facilitated with ultra-modern facilities and development initiatives.

He also asked officers to ensure the timely completion of internal beautification of Golden Plaza. He directed to keep the “general vehicles” away from the Golden Temple Complex to avoid congestion for the facilitation of devotees.

Reviewing the status of project under which the passage from Golden Temple to Hall Gate will be lent a heritage look, the Deputy CM directed officers to start the work right from Sri Darbar Sahib.

He said under this project all roads and streets would be well constructed, electricity poles would be removed and it would witness world class landscaping. He also asked senior officers to oversee the ongoing projects personally so the dream of establishing Amritsar as major tourist spot could be realised.

He also reviewed the ongoing projects including widening of roads, BRTS, beautification of Chowk Shaheedan, Entry Gates, War Memorial, Gobindgarh Fort, Solid Waste Management, Sewerage Treatment Plant, Bhagwan Valmiki Tirath Memorial, under construction parking at Attari border and directed officers that these project should be completed well in time.

The officers apprised Deputy CM that the work on the BRTS project would be completed well before December 2015. They informed that this Rs 491-crore project would witness dedicated bus tracks from Bhandari Bridge to India Gate, Bhandari Bridge to Daburji, Daburji Byepass to Verka, Verka to Celebration Mall, Celebration Mall to Sant Singh Sukh Singh Chowk, 4S Chowk to Kitchlu Chowk and Kitchlu Chowk to Old Sadar police station.
