‘Political interference’ mars construction work in BRS Nagar

Ludhiana | Sunday | 17th November, 2019

Summary:

Encroachments were removed from this street a day before the announcement of Assembly election results in 2017, but the construction work is still pending. According to sources, a few people having political support don’t want that the road that leads to LIT’s three plots worth crores of rupees be constructed. The work orders for the construction of this public street was issued a few years ago, but the road is not being constructed due to “high political interference”. A few years ago, a team of LIT had visited to construct the road, but they were forced to return without getting the street constructed. When contacted, Superintending Engineer, LIT, Sukhbir Singh Jakhar said there were no encroachments on the street at present..
