Residents of Phagwara are set to receive significant relief as the long-pending demand for the construction of Banga road has finally been approved. The project, worth Rs 5.20 crore, will cover approximately 5.20 kilometres and is expected to commence within the next few days.
Government Approval Granted
Dr Raj Kumar Chabbewal, who is also the in-charge of the Phagwara assembly area, confirmed that the government has granted approval for the road construction following his persistent efforts. He stated that the issue was repeatedly raised by local residents, traders, and shopkeepers due to the poor condition of the road over a long period.
Continuous Efforts Pay Off
Dr Chabbewal added that he took up the matter with the Punjab government after the demand was brought to his notice. Earlier, the construction of Palahi road was also completed following similar efforts, and now Banga road has been approved for redevelopment. The work is expected to start next week.
Community Welcomes Decision
Local shopkeepers, traders, and residents have warmly welcomed the decision, expressing hope that the new road will improve connectivity and ease daily commuting. The project is anticipated to bring much-needed relief to the area.
