The cabinet minister said that while sanctioning the repair funds, the PWD department has also focused on smaller districts like Nawanshehar, Barnala and Ropar where nearly 200 quarters will undergo repairs. He added that quarters at Chandigarh, Patiala, Amritsar, Sangrur, Bathinda and Jalandhar will also be renovated with these funds.

Singla said that apart from these special repairs, the PWD has also been repairing and renovating government buildings on a regular basis. “If any building or road gets timely repairs, besides increasing the life span of the infrastructure, it also helps to save taxpayers money to build new ones,” he added.
