MLA from Sri Anandpur Sahib constituency and Cabinet Minister Harjot Singh Bains, while sharing information, stated that a new steel bridge will be constructed at Village Chandpur Bela at a cost of Rs 26 crore. Along with this, approval has also been granted for the construction of more new bridges in the constituency at an estimated cost of Rs 60 crore. He said that these projects will provide major transportation convenience to the people of the area and will further strengthen connectivity for dozens of villages.
He informed that during the tenure of the Aam Aadmi Party government, large-scale construction of new bridges is being undertaken in the constituency for the first time. Earlier, the construction of bridges was mostly carried out by Kar Sewa saints, while previous governments did not pay the required attention towards the development of bridges and roads. The Cabinet Minister said that roads in the Bela villages are being widened to 18 feet at a cost of crores of rupees to strengthen road infrastructure, and at the same time, work on three new bridges worth nearly Rs 100 crore is progressing at a war footing.
He further stated that a new bridge costing Rs 26 crore will be constructed at Chandpur Bela, and the work will begin soon, while a new bridge at Shahpur Bela will be built at a cost of Rs 7 crore. Besides this, new bridges will also be constructed from Bela Dhiani to Ajoli at a cost of Rs 17 crore, at Village Nakkian at a cost of Rs 5 crore, and at Village Pingwari at a cost of Rs 6 crore. Work for the protection of the Agampur bridge at a cost of Rs 6 crore is also progressing rapidly.
Questioning the leaders of the opposition, the Cabinet Minister asked them to explain which new bridge or road was constructed in the constituency during their tenure. He said that instead of merely opposing, they should also inform the people about which new development projects they initiated in the constituency in the past. He further stated that the concerned department had first written to the then government in 2012 regarding the repair of the Algaran bridge and kept sending reminders continuously till 2021, but no attention was paid to the matter. Now, the present government is taking appropriate steps to strengthen that bridge.
In conclusion, he said that the promises made to the people of the constituency are continuously being fulfilled, and the remaining works will also be completed on time. He assured that every promise made to the people will be fulfilled.
