MLA Gogi and MC commissioner cum Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ludhiana Smart City Limited (LSCL) Dr Shena Aggarwal further stated that now the residents will not have to take a detour through Sarabha Nagar or Model Town extension for reaching Pakhowal road canal bridge from Hero Bakery chowk. With the opening of the RUB, the distance would now be covered within a minute.

MLA Gogi stated that the Pakhowal road ROB/RUBs project had taken up pace after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government came to power in the state. The ROB will also be opened for movement of traffic in the coming few months. 

He further stated that the AAP led state government is committed for the overall development of the state.
