SUCHETGARH, Oct 28: The long-awaited work on blacktopping of the vital road link from Gharana to Bakarpur towards the Zero Line Defence Road commenced today.
The project, which is being undertaken for the first time since India’s independence, marks a significant step towards improving connectivity in the region. The inauguration of work was jointly carried out by MLA Suchetgarh and BJP leader Prof Gharu Ram and Taranjit Singh Tony, DDC Suchetgarh and Congress leader, in presence of Sarpanch Gharana, Gurdayal Singh Soni and others.
The road work is part of a larger project worth Rs 4.5 crore, funded under the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD). The improved road will not only facilitate better movement but will also aid in the transportation of essential agricultural equipment like tractors, combines, and other machinery, boosting the region’s agrarian economy.
Speaking at the inauguration, MLA Prof Gharu Ram said that the commencement of this road project marks a positive beginning in enhancing the region’s infrastructure, providing much-needed relief to the farming community, and ensuring smoother connectivity to the Zero Line Defence Road.
Taranjit Singh Tony, in his address, emphasized the importance of the project, stating that the road will ease travel for locals and enhance agricultural activities. “The road work had been delayed due to the Model Code of Conduct, but we are committed to ensuring that maximum road connectivity projects are completed,” he said.
The senior Congress leader mentioned that several road projects are already in the pipeline, and the aim is to provide seamless connectivity across the constituency. “After the formation of the new government, we have high hopes for the welfare schemes targeted at farmers,” he assured.
