ASIA’S one of the biggest steel towns, Mandi Gobindgarh, is part of the constituency. However, industrialists here are annoyed as despite the tall claim of the government to supply them electricity at Rs 5 per unit, they are yet to see the fulfillment of the promise. Besides, they accuse income tax officials of harassment.
Residents, on the other hand, are upset over the condition of roads. The connecting road between Mandi Gobindgarh and Amloh is in a shambles as no work has been done in the past five years. Gurpreet Singh Gill, a social activist, says if this is the state of affairs even after having a Cabinet Minister from the constituency, what could we expect from others.
The railway over-bridge at Mandi Gobindgarh, which was promised in 2016 by then Deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal, is yet to see the light of the day. Minister Kaka Randeep Singh had promised in 2017 that he would complete it. Also, residents want upgrade of drainage system of sullage water and correction of a faulty sewer system. With only big-ticket projects and development works, Amloh can be put on the trajectory of growth, stresses Rakesh Garg, a resident.
