Poor infra: Pathetic roads, ill-maintained parks & Bhagtanwala dump trademark of this seat

Pathetic condition of roads, poor infrastructure, ill-maintained parks and stinking garbage dumping ground at Bhagtanwala (in pic right) are a few things that define Amritsar South constituency.

Densely populated localities on Sultanwind Road, Tarn Taran Road and the Bhagtanwala area have been facing sanitation and sewer issues.

Till 2017, the focus of all political parties, including the ruling Congress, was on shifting the dump outside the city. The Sanji Sangharsh Committee of residents was leading the demonstration and shifting of Bhagtanwala dumping ground out of the city formed the core issue during elections. This time, however, no political party is talking about it.
