Foundation stone laid twice in 13 yrs, subway in Aggar Nagar opens finally.

It's foundation stone laid twice in 13 years - in 2001 and 2010 by the SAD-BJP government - the subway in Aggar Nagar, Ferozepur road, connecting Block A and B, was finally thrown open to public recently.

While the district administration in its official statement claimed that the foundation stone was laid only once in 2010 by Deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal, it was on June 10, 2001, that Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal laid the first foundation stone of 'Maharaja Aggarsain Pedestrial Subway' and also released Rs 21 lakh as first instalment in 2001. But the project failed to take off. The stone was laid again in 2010 by Sukhbir.

Meanwhile, Punjab Irrigation Minister Sharanjit Singh Dhillon came out against the BJP’s former MP Navjot Singh Sidhu and said that 'some political leaders are issuing false statements to merely highlight their personal grudges'.
