Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday gave nod to construct 20,000 km of link roads at a cost of Rs 4,000 crore but with a rider.

The contractors need to give a five-year warranty on the projects they undertake, including repair and maintenance of link roads.

Initially, this model will be adopted in Barnala, Faridkot, Nawanshahr and Pathankot. A sum of Rs 225 crore would be spent on construction/repair of the link roads in these

four districts.

Mann said main motive of the campaign was to facilitate the people as these link roads act as a catalyst in commuting and smooth transportation of goods and services in rural areas.

He said artificial intelligence (AI) should be used for constructing link roads as it would ensure optimum use of the existing resources.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
