Repair service lanes or face action: Patiala divisional commissioner warns NHAI

Commissioner of Patiala Division, Chander Gaind, on Thursday, directed the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) to immediately repair the service lanes under the elevated road project of Ludhiana-Ferozepur four-lane highway and make them motorable before September 30.

Presiding over a review meeting, accompanied by deputy commissioner Varinder Kumar Sharma, Gaind said the service lanes are in a deplorable state and the commuters are a harried lot due to the careless attitude of the executive agencies.

Gaind said this project was of utmost public importance and NHAI must resolve all the issues promptly by removing the bottlenecks by September 30 to ensure a smooth ride for city residents during the upcoming festive season.
