Mohali MLA Kulwant Singh on Thursday inaugurated the newly renovated pond at Sohana, redeveloped by the Municipal Corporation (MC) at a cost of Rs 1.68 crore, and also laid the foundation stone of a Rs 40-lakh dharamshala in Maingiana Patti. Municipal Commissioner Parminder Pal Singh was present on the occasion.

Speaking to the media, the MLA said the pond, spread across 2.25 acres, has been redeveloped to improve public health and provide a recreational hub for residents. “The pond has been desilted, embankments strengthened with stone lining, benches installed, and tree plantation carried out. A fountain and fish stocking will soon be added to transform it into a local tourist attraction,” he stated. He further announced that another pond in Sohana would also be renovated soon.

On the dharamshala project, Kulwant Singh said it would be constructed on 2 kanals of land, featuring a 2,000 sq. ft. hall to offer affordable space for families to host functions, replacing the old dilapidated structure.
