After laying the foundation stone of a skywalk project, costing Rs 60 crore, outside Gurdwara Shaheedan Sahib here, Minister of Local Government Inderbir Singh Nijjar said once this project was complete, it would bring relief to ‘sangat’ coming for darshan of Shaheedan Sahib. The ‘sangat’ has to cross the road to go to the gurdwara, which not only causes inconvenience, but also leads to traffic jams.
He said the project includes multiple foot overbridges and skywalk plaza in front of Gurdwara Shaheedan Sahib. The plaza would have a cluster of entry and exit points through stairs, escalators and lifts for ease of pedestrian movement. He said this project would ensure the safety and convenience of pilgrims.
