Banga, january 1

Acceding to the long-pending demand of Banga residents, the Punjab Government has started the work of Banga-Garshankar Road.

Deputy Commissioner Vishesh Sarangal said the project was hanging fire since long and it got a major push with the visit of Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi. The principal secretary to CM, Husan Lal, had raised the issue to clear all hitches in the project. He said the CM asked the officials concerned of the PIDB to clear the files and allot the work to the contractor without further delay.

Sarangal said after the intervention of the CM, the work was allocated to the contractor, who has started the work. The new road would give a major relief to the daily commuters. The Banga -Garhshanker road is of immense importance as it connects to Sri Anandpur Sahib from Garhshankar, added the DC.

He said the district administration would ensure quality work so that strengthening and upgradation could be done in a smooth and long-lasting way.

XEN PWD Rajinder Kumar said the 9.33 km stretch of road falling in SBS Nagar district would be completed in a record time. An amount of Rs 9.78 crore would be spent on the work and quality standards would be maintained by minute monitoring. He said we have fixed a deadline of May 2022 to complete this work.
