The Finance and Contract Committee (F&CC) of Mohali Municipal Corporation Wednesday issued work orders worth Rs 67 crore for works previously approved and passed new estimates worth Rs 4 crore.

The works approved mainly include scarifying the roads and then laying premix on them. Some of these works are already in progress in Mohali. Apart from premix work on main roads and internal streets, work relating to desilting of sewerage lines, cleaning of road drains, and other development tasks were also included.

Speaking to The Indian Express after the meeting, Mayor Amarjit Singh Jeeti Sidhu said that roads in Mohali whose lifespan had ended are being overlaid with premix, and in particular, in several areas, roads are being scraped before applying premix so that their height does not increase. Special attention is being given to this on the main roads.
