Nijjar Chowk-Chhaju Majra road repair to be completed in 20 days

The district administration today said the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will complete the strengthening work and upgrade of the Kharar–Landran road in 20 days’ time.

Deputy Commissioner (DC) Komal Mittal today reviewed the ongoing work of the Kharar–Landran road and directed the officials to ensure completion of the project without any delays.

Notably, the Kharar–Landran road serves as a vital parallel link to the Chandigarh–Kharar highway, providing connectivity to Ludhiana and Banur roads. The DC assured NHAI that the Municipal Council, Kharar, would carry out the regular de-watering operations to ensure uninterrupted progress of the work.

The work is expected to help resolve stormwater and sewerage issues in Shivalik City and adjoining colonies.

The NHAI officials further assured that the project would be completed within 20 days, with teams working round-the-clock to provide relief to commuters.

Later, the DC also kick-started the Rs. 2.09 crore repair and construction work of the Nijjar Chowk–Chhaju Majra road, which was necessitated after the laying of sewer and storm water lines. She emphasised that the project, being a key connector between Kharar–Landran and Chandigarh–Kharar roads, will be completed on priority basis to address the long-pending demand of local residents, she added.

Mittal was accompanied by Additional Deputy Commissioner (Urban Development) Anmol Singh Dhaliwal, Sub-Divisional Magistrate Kharar Divya P, Executive Officer, Municipal Council Kharar, Sukhdev Singh and senior NHAI officials.
