The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has approved the four entry and exit points within the Ludhiana Municipal Limits on the Delhi-Amritsar Highway (NH 44)- according to the Ludhiana Mayor, Balkar Singh Sandhu. He also expressed gratitude to the Punjab Food, Civil Supplies, and Consumer Affairs Minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu for raising the issue with the NHAI Chairman Sukhbir Singh Sandhu for the residents’ best interest.
Sardar Balkar Singh Sandhu told that the entry and exit points have been planned near Dhandari, near SPS Hospital, near Transport Nagar, and near Greenland School, situated at Jalandhar Bypass. He said that the addition of these entry and exit points would help a large number of city residents who travel on the NH44.
