Harjot Singh Bains on Tuesday announced the issuance of the final notification for the long-awaited four-laning of the Nangal-Kiratpur Sahib road, paving the way for the project to commence shortly. Terming it as a \u201clong-cherished public demand and a personal commitment, S Bains said the project would significantly improve safety, connectivity and economic activity in the region.<\/p>\n<p>S. Harjot Singh Bains stated that the land acquisition process would be completed within next two months, after which tendering and on-ground construction would begin at the earliest.<\/p>\n<p>In a video message, S. Bains recalled that the project\u2019s groundwork began with a detailed survey in July 2022. He underscored the urgent need for the upgrade, particularly at the Nangal-Ganguwal stretch, which has remained accident-prone for years and has resulted in the loss of several lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis road is not merely an infrastructure project. It is a lifeline for the people of the region as it serves daily commuters and thousands of pilgrims travelling to prominent religious destinations such as Mata Bagla Mukhi, Baba Balak Nath and Mata Chintpurni. Based on strong survey data and continuous follow-up with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), the case for four-laning was firmly established.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Cabinet Minister attributed the project\u2019s progress to persistent engagement with authorities at all levels. \u201cThis was a people-driven demand. From senior officials to project directors, the matter was pursued relentlessly. As an elected representative, my priority has always been to deliver development on the ground,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>With the final notification issued and land records now being published, S. Bains said all preliminary formalities have been completed. \u201cOur target is to finish land acquisition within a record time of two months and proceed swiftly towards tendering and execution,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the broader impact of the project, S. Harjot Singh Bains said the four-lane road would act as a catalyst for economic growth across the region. Citing Bharatgarh\u2019s development, he noted that improved connectivity attracts hotels, businesses and investments, generating employment opportunities for local youth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe improved road network will benefit nearly 100 surrounding villages by enabling easier access to markets. Tourism will also see a major boost, positively impacting small traders, shopkeepers and local entrepreneurs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Minister Bains also listed several infrastructure initiatives already undertaken in the constituency, including construction of a uniquely designed foot overbridge near Sarsa Nangal, development of service roads from Bara Pind to Bharatgarh.<\/p>\n<p>He reaffirmed his commitment to the project, stating, \u201cThis road represents my vision for the future of our region. With the blessings of the Guru Sahib and people, we will ensure its timely completion and usher in a new era of safety, connectivity and prosperity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Land acquisition to be wrapped up in 2 months, says Bains Sri Anandpur Sahib: Punjab Education Minister and Sri Anandpur Sahib MLA S.
