Jalandhar's Avtar Nagar to get 2 new roads

Minister Mohinder Bhagat and Mayor Vaneet Dhir on Thursday laid the foundation stone for new road projects in New Avatar Nagar Colony, Ward No. 47, at a cost of Rs 75 lakh.

Accompanied by local councillor Manmeet Kaur, the minister said the projects would address a long-pending demand of residents and shopkeepers, significantly easing commuting in the area.

Bhagat said, “There is no shortage of funds. Projects to improve basic amenities are being inaugurated every day to ensure better facilities for people". The minister added that more road projects will be rolled out to further expand the city’s road network. He directed officials to ensure strict quality checks and timely completion of the projects, warning that any compromise in construction standards would invite strict action against erring officials or contractors.

Meanwhile, Vaneet Dhir said the Jalandhar Municipal Corporation will launch more projects in the coming days. He mentioned that these projects will give a massive infrastructural push to city development.

Residents of Avtar Nagar expressed gratitude to the minister, stating that the new roads would not only improve connectivity but also enhance convenience for the entire locality.
