Plumes of dust irk commuters

Commuters travelling on a stretch of Shaheed Kartar Singh Sarabha Marg (also known as Pakhowal Road), which falls outside the Municipal Corporation’s jurisdiction, are currently experiencing inconvenience due to large plumes of dust that arise after the passage of vehicles. The road leads to Sarabha, the ancestral village of freedom fighter Shaheed Kartar Singh Sarabha.

In February, the foundation stone was laid for the special repair of a 22.55-km-long stretch between Phullanwal Chowk and near Pakhowal village. According to the PWD, 15 km of the stretch has already been recarpeted and the remaining work will be completed soon.
