MLA Gogi said that when he went to inspect the site today, he found the RuB was almost complete, and that is why he immediately directed the MC officials to throw it open for commuters so that people do not suffer due to traffic congestion. “I categorically told the MC officials that I don’t want them to organise a special inauguration function, but the RuB should be opened immediately,” informed Gogi.
MLA Gogi said that the stretch is ready for use and commuters travelling from Pakhowal Road side to Sarabha Nagar can use this stretch. Meanwhile, some of the pending works at the bridge will be carried out side by side.
Earlier, he also chaired a meeting with the MC officials where he discussed the status of projects carried out under the Ludhiana Smart City Mission. He directed the MC officials to re-study the design of Malhar Road so that all “faulty” bottlenecks are cleared so that the road is widened.
