Addressing a public function after laying the foundation stone of a bridge to be constructed on Siswan river at Niholka village yesterday, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal said the department concerned has been directed to complete the construction work within six months.

He said the government has decided to construct bridges on the rivers and nullahs8217; passing through the roads on priority basis in order to provide better transportation facilities in the state.

Former Roopnagar MP Satwinder Kaur Dhaliwal said the Badal government was the first government to have launched welfare schemes for the Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes. She said the Badal government had spent crores on the all-round development of Roopnagar district in view of the presence of historical city Anandpur Sahib in this district.
