NEW DELHI: Food processing industries minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Thursday said that one section of the Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway would pass through Amritsar after being split into two at Kartarpur even as the other section would go through Gurdaspur to Katra.

The minister said she had recently been informed by the Amritsar Vikas Manch and other social organisations that the Expressway was not going to pass through Amritsar and had herself got alarmed. “I took up the matter with Union Road Transport and Highways minister Nitin Gadkari and he informed me that there was no cause of worry for people of Amritsar and that the Expressway would not only pass through the holy city but also the Raja Sansi International Airport.
