Chandigarh/Pathankot, September 22:

The Cabinet Minister, Punjab, Mr. Lal Chand Kataruchak today conducted a special visit to the Makhanpur and Tash areas to review the special development works underway in the areas adjoining the Indo-Pak border.

During the visit, he inspected the ongoing construction work of the main road being built from Tash to Makhanpur and from Makhanpur to Kohliya Adda and obtained information regarding the progress of the work from the officials and the concerned contractor.

On the occasion, Mr. Lal Chand Kataruchak said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Punjab, S. Bhagwant Singh Mann, development works such as construction of roads and strengthening of basic infrastructure are being carried out on a war footing in the Bhoa Assembly constituency.

He informed that the width of the main road being constructed from Tash to Makhanpur and from Makhanpur to Kohliya Adda was earlier about 10 feet, which is now being increased to 18 feet. He said that the widening of this road will provide great convenience to the people of the border areas as well as the farmers.

The Cabinet Minister said that due to the narrow width of the road earlier, farmers had to face many difficulties in transporting their crops, especially sugarcane and other agricultural produce, to the markets. With the increase in the width of the road, traffic movement will become smooth and it will be easier for farmers to take their crops to the markets.

He instructed the contractor carrying out the construction work to complete the road work within the stipulated time and not to compromise on quality in any way during construction. He said that use of high-quality material in the development works should be ensured so that people can benefit from it for a long time.

Mr. Lal Chand Kataruchak further said that the road construction work will be completed soon and dedicated to the public for transportation. He said that the government is continuously working for the development of border areas and providing better basic amenities to the people.

On this occasion, Sarpanch Makhanpur Manga, Sarpanch Dera Basti Makhanpur Gurmej Singh, Subedar Sohan Makhanpur, Amrik Singh, Lovely Manjiri and other local residents were also present.
