Hoshiarpur MP Dr Raj Kumar Chabbewal today announced that the Centre had approved around 15 railway overbridges and underpasses across the Hoshiarpur constituency, including several key projects for Phagwara. He described the approval of an underpass at Satnampura Sugar Mill Chowk as the fulfilment of one of the area’s long-pending demands.
Addressing mediapersons in Phagwara, the MP said he had consistently raised the issues with the Centre, following which these received approval. He said the projects would improve connectivity and ease traffic movement in the region.
Dr Chabbewal said residents of Satnampura and nearby areas would particularly benefit from the proposed railway underpass at the Satnampura Sugar Mill Chowk railway crossing. At present, commuters are forced to travel long distances to reach the bus stand, railway station and other markets in Phagwara due to the railway line.
He further stated that the approved projects included the Gobindpura-Industrial Area railway underpass, Nangal railway bridge, Satnampura Sugar Mill Chowk railway underpass, Khera Road railway overbridge and Mauli railway underbridge.
