AMRITSAR: MLA Dr. Ajay Gupta, MLA from the Central Assembly Constituency, today inaugurated the development work on four radial roads leading to Sachkhand Sri Darbar Sahib, a center of faith worldwide. MLA Dr. Gupta said that at a cost of approximately 41 crore, Mahan Singh Road, Sherwala Gate, Ghee Mandi, and Ramsar Road, leading to Sri Darbar Sahib, will be given a Heritage Street look. He said that over 100, 000 devotees from India and abroad travel daily through these four roads to pay obeisance at Sri Darbar Sahib.
MLA Dr. Ajay Gupta said that after giving these four radial roads a Heritage Street look, these roads will become a center of attraction for devotees. He added that the width of these roads will be increased and no electricity or other wires will be visible above the roads. All the wires will be underground. He said that these four radial roads will be well-lit. He also said that paintings depicting Punjab's culture will be painted on all the buildings on both sides of these four roads.
MLA Dr. Ajay Gupta said that the four radial roads leading to Sachkhand Sri Darbar Sahib will be dedicated to the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib. He said that this project has been underway after hard work for the last two years. He thanked Aam Aadmi Party Convener Arvind Kejriwal, Punjab in-charge Manish Sisodia, and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann for this. He said that some obstacles were encountered during the tendering process, which AAP Convener Arvind Kejriwal paid special attention to.
On this occasion, Mayor Jitendra Singh Moti Bhatia expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve Amritsar, the city founded by Guru Ram Das Ji.
