“Under this development drive, projects worth Rs 57.80 crore have been launched for the renovation of 121 link roads in the Attari constituency,” he said. He added that major improvements are being made in health and education. ‘Schools of Eminence’ and ‘Common Man Clinics’ are serving people in Amritsar district, while a new government college is being built at Ajnala at a cost of Rs 15 crore.
The Chief Minister further said canals and watercourses have been revived at a cost of Rs 6,500 crore to facilitate farmers, ensuring canal water supply reaches the tail ends of more than 1,400 villages.
“To reduce the daily difficulties faced by border farmers, the issue was raised with the Centre and an agreement has been reached to advance border fencing. An Anti-Drone System has also been installed to curb drug smuggling. The Aam Aadmi Government remains committed to building a prosperous and golden future for Punjab,” Mann added.
