MLA Kulwant Singh laid the foundation stone for the Jagatpura-Kandala airport link road, which will help decongest the airport road. The new road, to be constructed at a cost of Rs 1 crore, will span 1.61 km and is expected to be completed within three months.

The project will involve laying paver blocks on the dilapidated section of the road and making necessary renovations. The improved road will benefit residents by providing easier access to and from the airport.

During the ceremony, the MLA emphasized the timely completion of the project and assured the public that it would be completed within the stipulated three-month timeframe. He also highlighted the importance of development-oriented work in the region, noting that this new road would ease traffic congestion and improve local infrastructure.
