In a major citizen centric decision, the Punjab CM Bhagwant Singh Mann on Wednesday gave nod to launch a special campaign for constructing 20,000 kilometres of link roads in the state at a cost of Rs 4000CR.
Chairing a meeting here today, the Chief Minister said that the main motive of the campaign is to facilitate the people as these Link Roads act as a catalyst in commuting and smooth transportation of the goods and services to people. He said that these link roads are the arteries of economic growth in the state as they help the people residing in rural areas to commute on one hand and give impetus to trade and business on the other.
