Mohali, October 22

The development works in SAS Nagar are gaining momentum, said Health and Family Welfare Minister Balbir Singh Sidhu while inaugurating the installation of paver blocks and premix-laying works at Police Colony in Phase 8.

Paver blocks will cost around Rs 18 lakh while premix-laying is expected to cost about Rs5 lakh.

Addressing the gathering, Sidhu said those living in residential societies and colonies of Mohali had been paying taxes to the Municipal Corporation, but little or no development work was carried out during the previous government’s regime.

He said he released funds from his discretionary quota for the development works in the region.

Sidhu said markets of the city were being transformed so that visitors get amenities.

He reiterated that the development works in Mohali constituency were in a full swing and there would be no paucity of funds for the same.
