Mohali-Senior Congress leader and former Health Minister, Mr. Balbir Singh Sidhu, today initiated repair work on the dilapidated link road connecting villages Sawara, Saidpur, Giddarpur, and Chadiala Sudan. Despite repeated pleas from residents, the Punjab government had failed to take action, forcing the people to seek Mr. Sidhu’s intervention.Responding to their plight, Mr. Sidhu personally took the initiative and arranged tippers loaded with gravel at his own expense to begin repairs. Speaking to the media on the occasion, he launched a scathing attack on the Aam Aadmi Party government, terming the performance of the current MLA from the Mohali constituency as “zero.”
Mr. Sidhu stated that in the past four and a half years, no substantial development work has been carried out in the constituency. Village link roads are in a deplorable state, and residents’ concerns continue to fall on deaf ears. He recalled that during the Congress government, grants of around ₹50 lakh were given to each village, while under the present regime not even a single rupee has reached the villages in nearly four years.
He further assured the people that with Assembly elections only a few months away, once the Congress Party returns to power, all stalled development projects in the Mohali constituency will be resumed without delay.
On this occasion, Panchayats of the surrounding villages expressed their gratitude and honored Mr. Sidhu for his efforts.
Among those present were senior Congress leader Harkesh Chand Sharma Machhli Kalan, Jaswinder Singh (Sarpanch Giddarpur), Narinder Singh Soni, Gurpreet Kaur (Sarpanch), Bhagat Singh, Sukhwinder Singh, Avtar Singh, Harnek Singh, Varinder Singh, Sukhdeep Kaur, Raj Rani, Mandeep Singh Goldy, Gurinder Singh Ravi, Harpreet Singh, Sukhveer Singh, Jaspal Singh, Manpreet Singh, Jaswinder Singh, Joginder Singh, Kultar Singh, Jagtar Singh (Numberdar), Ranveer Singh (Numberdar), Rita Rani (former Sarpanch Chadiala Sudan), along with other prominent Panchayat members
