She also directed the XEN National Highway to fill up and repair the potholes as they are causing accidents on this road.

She further informed me that The 8 km road from Patiala to Baran is already a four-lane road and the rest 21 km stretch will be four lanes. The road will be widened on both sides by 8.75-meter width and will have a 1.2 m center verge in it.

She added that the four-lane of Patiala to road from Patiala to Sirhind GT road is not only an important route for social, and business purposes only, but it’s a religious route also as it connects Gurudwara Dukh Niwaran Sahib in Patiala, Gurudwara Sri Fatehgarh Sahib and Gurudwara Chamkaur sahib.
