Ludhiana, December 3

Members of the expert group, SDM concerned and Municipal Corporation (MC) officials conducted a meeting for making direct way from Chaura Bazar to the birthplace of Shaheed Sukhdev Thapar at Mohalla Naughar in Ludhiana.

The Department of Local Government, Punjab, had earlier formed a group of experts regarding the acquisition of around 44 square yards of land for making a direct way from Chaura Bazar to the ancestral house of Shaheed Sukhdev Thapar.

Professor Rajesh Gill, chairperson of the expert group, conducted a discussion with the officials and interacted with the owner of the land that is to be acquired. Members of Shaheed Sukhdev Thapar Memorial Trust, SDM Vineet Kumar and MC Additional Commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal were also present in the meeting. Despite repeated attempts, SDM Vineet Kumar could not be contacted for a comment.

Meanwhile, trust president Ashok Thapar demanded from the authorities to complete the process at the earliest so that a direct way could be constructed to the martyr’s ancestral house from Chaura Bazar. Thapar said they had been demanding direct way to the martyr’s ancestral house since long, but it had not been constructed yet.

It is pertinent to mention here that the Municipal Corporation will carry out the beautification work in the area outside the martyr’s ancestral house.
