After a long delay in e-tendering related to recarpeting of roads under the Rs 46 crore project, the tenders have been floated for the third time. Now, four private companies have applied for the same and officials of the Amritsar Municipal Corporation are hopeful that the tender may materialise this year.

Earlier, the MC had initiated the e- tendering process in April. The technical bid of the tender was opened on August 24. The residents were expecting that roads would be recarpeted before the 2022 Assembly elections as the incumbent government would aim to get the credit.
