Road construction work begins in New Amritsar after 35 years

Amritsar Improvement Trust Chairman Karamjit Singh Rintu and East constituency MLA Jeevanjyot Kaur jointly launched the construction of roads with premix material in New Amritsar locality after removing illegal encroachments, which had persisted here for over 35 years.

Rintu said the land in this area, belonging to the Improvement Trust, had been encroached upon by people. “For decades, these encroachments prevented the execution of planned infrastructure. We have now successfully cleared them, allowing the long-pending development to begin,” he said.

He said the construction of new roads under the scheme will directly benefit the residents of Bhai Gurdas Ji Nagar (New Amritsar) and surrounding localities. He emphasised the AIT’s commitment to revitalising its various schemes to ensure public welfare and improved civic infrastructure.

MLA Jeevanjyot Kaur said comprehensive development work is underway across the East constituency. “We are focused on ensuring that long-neglected areas are brought into the fold of progress. The New Amritsar scheme by the Improvement Trust is now being fully revived,” she remarked.

The work construction launch ceremony was attended by local councillors Amarjeet Kaur Maan, Sukh Hundal, Satnam Singh, Gurdayal Singh, as well as social figures, including Balkar Singh Sohal, Ajay Suri, Oshdeep Gill, former executive engineer SS Malli, SK Dheer and a large number of area residents.

“There is no scarcity of funds and we are committed to overall development of the city,” said AIT Chairman Rintu.
