          Punjab cabinet minister and MLA from Anandpur Sahib constituency Harjot Singh Bains, on Monday, wrote a letter to Union Cabinet Minister Manohar Lal Khattar urging construction of 5 new bridges on BBMB rivers.

          The cabinet minister said that people of Shri Anandpur Sahib constituency, particularly in areas like Nangal, Kiratpur Sahib, and Anandpur Sahib, whose area fall under the jurisdiction of Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) were facing critical infrastructure challenges due to lack of road connectivity.

          He added that the construction of these new bridges would not only improve the road connectivity but also pave the way for holistic development and boost tourism in the region.

          Minister Bains urged the union minister to construct bridge over Sarsa-Nangal, reconstruction of 60-year old bridges in Brahampur and Darauli, bridge for Attari  and adjoining villages and proper bridge for village Bhaowal. He added that the construction of these bridges require immediate attention as it would pave the way for progress and prosperity in this historically significant region.

          The minister said that their forefathers sacrificed their precious land-land, that was as dear to them as their mother, for the construction of the Bhakra Nangal Dam, canals, and powerhouses.

          He added that monumental sacrifice was instrumental in the development of modern India and was rightly hailed by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru as the “Temple of Modern India.”

          “However, after more than 60 years, the infrastructure created during that era has deteriorated significantly, and no substantial development has been undertaken in recent years. Shri Anandpur Sahib is a sacred land where Dashmesh Pita Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji created the Khalsa. It is blessed by the sacred soil of Mata Naina Devi and other revered temples,” wrote Bains.
