MP Chabbewal calls on Gadkari

MP Dr Raj Kumar Chabbewal on Thursday called on Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari in New Delhi, urging him to declare the Balachaur-Hoshiarpur-Dasuya road as national highway, besides widening it.

The MP apprised the Union Minister that this road would provide smooth transportation in the region as well as boost its economic development. Gadkari assured him of appropriate action on this project.

Chabbewal pointed out that the road connects various districts of Punjab, leading to the neighbouring states. He stated that this vital road connectivity was having heavy volume of vehicular traffic while the existing road structure had become congested, causing traffic problems for commuters. He told the Union Minister that the widening of this road would not only ensure the safe mobility but also give a boost to trade, industries and tourism activities in the region.
