The issue of the pending construction work on the flyover at Adampur on the Jalandhar-Hoshiarpur road has taken centre stage for all parties ahead of the Jalandhar Lok Sabha bypoll. The project was launched in 2016 and was to be completed by October 2019.
Since area residents had announced to boycott the bypoll and had put up posters of “no road, no vote”, they have been approached by leaders of all parties not to resort to such a measure. While the Centre has been blaming the state, the AAP-led government has said the delay was due to the Centre and the previous Congress and SAD-BJP governments.
