Chandigarh: In a historic step, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s government has started rebuilding the Mehangowal bridge, which had been broken and unsafe for decades. This bridge is very important for around 50 nearby villages, as it connects them to schools, markets, and hospitals. The old bridge forced villagers to take long detours and caused difficulties, especially during emergencies.
The construction of the new bridge will make travel safer and easier for thousands of people. Modern technology and good quality materials are being used to ensure the bridge lasts long. The project is also providing jobs to local workers and helping the local economy. Villagers have welcomed this initiative, saying it shows the government cares about their safety and daily needs.
Local leaders and social activists have praised Chief Minister Mann and the Aam Aadmi Party government for taking action after decades of neglect. They said the bridge is not just a structure, but a step toward fulfilling the hopes and needs of the people. Residents hope the project will bring more development to their villages and improve life in the region.
