Punjab Public Works and Power Minister Harbhajan Singh on Sunday laid the foundation stone of the repair works of the Narli-Chhina Bidhi Chand road in the presence of Khemkaran MLA Sarwan Singh Dhun.

The 6.64-km-long and 18-feet-wide road will be repaired by the Public Works Department at a cost of Rs 3.46 crore. The project is expected to be completed within six months.

"The repair of this critical road will greatly benefit the area residents, especially the farmers, by providing seamless transportation of crops to the market," the minister said, adding that the road connected the historical town of Chhina Bidhi Chand and Narli with Khalra-Bhikhiwand road and nearby villages with Khalra Dana Mandi.
