Elected representatives from various constituencies of the region are busy laying foundation stones for new development projects and inaugurating recently accomplished ventures ahead of the forthcoming Assembly elections.

Fatehgarh Sahib MP Amar Singh Boparai and legislators Surjit Singh Dhiman, Lakhvir Singh Lakha and Kuldeep Singh Vaid are trying their best to get all projects formally started in their respective segments, grants for which have been received by executing agencies.

Kila Raipur Market Committee chairman Ranjit Singh Mangat, Ahmedgarh Market Committee chairman Baljinder Singh Baurhai, Ahmedgarh Municipal Council president Vikas Tandon and Raikot MC president Sudarshan Joshi have been coordinating with officials at their respective civic bodies for commencement of sanctioned development projects as early as possible so that the works are not staggered due to the poll code of conduct, which might be implemented by the Election Commission anytime in the near future. Teji Kamalpur, political adviser to Amargarh legislator Surjit Singh Dhiman, said a comprehensive plan to inaugurate development projects was completed recently and a programme to lay foundation stones for sanctioned projects had been prepared so that residents would not suffer due to the interruption of the works.

A government weighbridge at Grain Market in Ahmedgarh, Grain Market-Jagera Bridge Road, Saraud- Bhogiwal College Road, Malerkotla-Ludhiana highway-Shiv Mandir Rohira Road, Dehliz Kalan-Chhapar Road and Kanganwal Ring Road, besides development projects at Ahmedgarh, Dehliz and Kanganwal were among other development projects which have been inaugurated recently.

Claiming that almost all demands of their respective segments had been accepted and implemented, legislators Surjit Singh Dhiman, Lakhvir Singh Lakha and Kuldeep Singh Vaid said officials in various departments had been advised to ensure that work on all ventures was completed before the 2022 Assembly elections.
