Finally, the work has begun on re-carpeting of broken roads in Ambala Cantonment. The re-carpeting work will be done at a cost of around Rs 4 crore, which is part of a special grant of Rs 7.5 crore released by the state government for improving condition of roads, streetlights, development of parks, construction of nullahs and renovation of public places in the town.
The work began after Home Minister Anil Vij, who represents Ambala Cantonment, took note of the bad condition of roads in the town.
Sharing details, Vij said he was committed to providing the best civic amenities and infrastructure to residents. “Since certain roads in the town have developed cracks and potholes, the special grant will help repair and re-carpet the broken roads,” he said.
Vij, who also holds the Local Government, Health, Technical Education, Science and Technology portfolios, said 13 major roads would be covered under the project.
The major roads to be re-carpeted included Staff Road to Fountain Chowk in Sadar Bazaar at Rs 71 lakh, IDBDI Bank to JCI Chowk in Main Rai Market at Rs 78 lakh and Swaran Jayanti Park to Lal Kurti Chowk at Rs 23 lakh.
