Ludhiana, September 13, 2025: Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Jain today conducted an on-site inspection of the stone stud-laying operations in Sasrali Colony, a vital component of the intensified efforts to reinforce the Dhussi Bandh against the Sutlej River's erosive forces.
Jain also carried out a close examination of the specialized floating excavator now operational in the area, designed to redirect the river's flow and safeguard nearby farmlands.
Joined by villagers and drainage department officials, Jain underscored the accelerated pace of the stud installations, which are being meticulously overseen by technical experts to enhance embankment stability.
