Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, July 31-

AAP's Sangrur Lok Sabha MP Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer on Wednesday raised the issue of Rajpura-Chandigarh railway connectivity for the Malwa region in Parliament. He said that the people of Malwa region are dependent on Chandigarh for health facilities, education and government work, so it is very important to connect this route through the railway.

Meet Hayer blamed the Badal family and said that earlier this route could not be completed because buses of a political family used to run on this route, but now there is a government of Aam Aadmi Party under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann in the state. Now it can be possible because there is full support from the Punjab government. That is why I request that the route be completed. This will also benefit the people financially and road accidents will also reduce, provided the railway accidents are reduced.

At the beginning of his speech, Meet Hayer paid tribute to martyr Udham Singh and said that he was a resident of Sunam which comes under my Lok Sabha constituency. Today is his martyrdom day.
