Mohali, September 9
Long queues of vehicles were seen on the Kharar-Landran road today as workers carried out repairs on the stretch.

A resident of Kharar, Nilesh Sood, said, “This 10-km stretch is in a pitiable condition. After the rainy season, it has developed potholes, some as deep as 1 foot. It is good that the repair work has finally begun.”
Baltej Singh Balli, also from Kharar, said, “It would have been better if the repairs had been carried out at night.”
The repair work is expected to take three or four days,” said an official present at the site.
