Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, December 23-
Punjab cabinet minister and MLA from Anandpur Sahib constituency Harjot Singh Bains, on Monday, wrote a letter to Union Cabinet Minister Manohar Lal Khattar urging construction of 5 new bridges on BBMB rivers.
The cabinet minister said that people of Shri Anandpur Sahib constituency, particularly in areas like Nangal, Kiratpur Sahib, and Anandpur Sahib, whose area fall under the jurisdiction of Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) were facing critical infrastructure challenges due to lack of road connectivity.
He added that the construction of these new bridges would not only improve the road connectivity but also pave the way for holistic development and boost tourism in the region. Bains urged the union minister to construct bridge over Sarsa-Nangal, reconstruction of 60-year old bridges in Brahampur and Darauli, bridge for Attari and adjoining villages and proper bridge for village Bhaowal.
“However, after more than 60 years, the infrastructure created during that era has deteriorated significantly, and no substantial development has been undertaken in recent years. Shri Anandpur Sahib is a sacred land where Dashmesh Pita Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji created the Khalsa.
