Chandigarh/Pathankot: The Cabinet Minister, Punjab, Lal Chand Kataruchak today conducted a special visit to the Makhanpur and Tash areas to review the special development works underway in the areas adjoining the Indo-Pak border.
During the visit, he inspected the ongoing construction work of the main road being built from Tash to Makhanpur and from Makhanpur to Kohliya Adda and obtained information regarding the progress of the work from the officials and the concerned contractor.
He informed that the width of the main road being constructed from Tash to Makhanpur and from Makhanpur to Kohliya Adda was earlier about 10 feet, which is now being increased to 18 feet. He said that the widening of this road will provide great convenience to the people of the border areas as well as the farmers.
The Cabinet Minister said that due to the narrow width of the road earlier, farmers had to face many difficulties in transporting their crops, especially sugarcane and other agricultural produce, to the markets. With the increase in the width of the road, traffic movement will become smooth and it will be easier for farmers to take their crops to the markets.
