Complete transformation of rural and urban Punjab with Rs. 3600 crore infusion in next 2 years-Sukhbir Badal

Chandigarh, March 2, 2014: Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal today said Punjab was set for massive development in the next two years with Rs 3,600 crore infrastructure infusion for both rural and urban areas having been finalised by the SAD- BJP government.
Disclosing this in a statement here, Badal said Punjab would become the number one state in the country on all fronts soon with the SAD- BJP government going in for complete transformation of all basic amenities in the entire State.
The Deputy CM informed that in the first phase 52 towns would witness an up gradation in civic amenities with Rs 3,600 crore being earmarked for potable water, sewage, sewerage treatment plants, concrete roads and street lights.
Expediting the pace of development in Punjab, the Deputy Chief Minister laid a number of foundation stones of the various development projects across the State last month. These include 23 Sewerage Treatment Plants and Water Supply schemes in various cities and towns, installation of RO Plants to ensure safe drinking water to the rural areas, Railway Over Bridges at Sri Muktsar Sahib and Bathinda, Group Housing Project in Bathinda, New Bus Terminals at Faridkot and Bassi Pathana, an exclusive Neo Natal Hospital equipped with all the hi-tech machinery at Kotkapura, a dozen 66 KV Sub Stations and a Degree College in the State.
Badal said Punjab, which had made the country self-reliant on the food security front, had now achieved the unique distinction of becoming self-reliant in power besides the best road and air-connectivity, world class infrastructure in all sectors and online citizen centric services.
The Deputy CM asserted that the recently held progressive Punjab investment summit and Agriculture summit had attracted big honchos to the state and set the pace to make Punjab an ultimate industrial and IT destination and foremost state in agricultural diversification.
Adding further he said that SAD-BJP alliance has a sole agenda of development and would contest the Lok Sabha polls on the plank of development alone. Badal said the congress was trying to woo the voters with false propaganda regarding state's fiscal health and development front but the people knew the reality and would vote to usher in NDA rule in the forthcoming parliamentary elections.//punjab news live, punjab news online, punjab news, punjab news headlines, punjab breaking news, india news, punjab news, world news,
