The Department of Housing and Urban Development has sought the inclusion of Rajpura among the cities that are part of a feasibility study for the Metro mode public transport system.
The Department of Local Government has hired a consultant for the feasibility study in Mohali, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Patiala. “Though Panthankot is also included, we have recommended to the Local Government to replace it with Rajpura,” said a senior functionary in the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Various modes of mass transportation under consideration include the mass rapid transit (MRT), also known as heavy rail or Metro, Metrolite or a light rail.
