Chandigarh mayor launches Rs 40-cr road re-carpeting work: ‘to finish within a month after Diwali’

The mayor said, “The project is moving forward with an organised approach, based on a rigorous assessment that classified roads into three distinct categories of degradation: Very Very Poor, Very Poor, and Poor. The initial contracts, totalling Rs 40 crore, prioritise the most urgent repairs. Works for the Very Very Poor category, covering V4, V5, and V6 category roads, have already been allotted to contractors.”

Babla officially kicked off the project on Friday by inaugurating the re-carpeting of V6 roads in Sector 29. She acknowledged the need to balance speedy execution with citizen convenience.

“We understand the importance of smooth and high-quality roads for the daily lives of our residents,” Babla said. “To avoid causing significant traffic disruption during the ongoing festive season, particularly leading up to Diwali, the work will be contained to limited areas for now. However, I assure the public that immediately after Diwali, the work will pick up in full throttle, utilising all the allotted resources.”

The mayor promised that all awarded road re-carpeting work would be successfully finished within one month after Diwali. “This rapid execution underscores the Municipal Corporation’s commitment to providing robust and durable infrastructure for the city.”
