Chandigarh Member Parliament, Kirron Kher on Tuesday raised the issue of construction of ring road around the city in Lok Sabha.
Stating that the ring road is crucial for Chandigarh, the MP said that it is proposed to help prevent around 1.5 lakh vehicles from Punjab and Haryana entering the city daily.
It has been a long pending demand of my constituency-Chandigarh, Kher said while speaking in the Parliament.
She said that last year, the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways had approved this demand and agreed to construct it under Bharatmala phase-1 project, but the project is not moving forward.
