Amritsar, February 1
PWD Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO laid the foundation stone of the Amritsar-Tarn Taran four-lane project road here on Thursday. He said the Rs 70 crore project would be completed in a time-bound manner.
The Tarn Taran-Amritsar road via Chabba would significantly cut travel time between the two cities. The minister said the width of the road on each side of the median would be 23 feet. Additionally, 10-foot wide slip roads would be constructed outside Gurdwara Tahla Sahib and Gurdwara Sangrana Sahib.
The minister said better road infrastructure not only provides ease of travelling to the general public but also helps in overall economic development. ETO, who also holds the charge of the Power Department, said even after providing 300 units of free power to residential connections, the power corporation has generated a profit of Rs 564 crore.
