Addressing gatherings in the villages of Shahpur Kalan, Longowal, Mander Kalan, Ubhawal, and Eilwal, Arora announced that the 48 roads under this project will be completed within the next seven to eight months. For the first time, contractors will also be responsible for maintenance of these rural roads for five years post-construction, ensuring sustained quality and accountability.

Arora emphasised that no compromises will be made on construction standards, and urged residents to actively monitor progress to ensure the works are carried out to their satisfaction.

Reflecting on the achievements of the Bhagwant Singh Mann-led Punjab Government, Arora said the administration had made comprehensive development its core mission over the last three and a half years, focusing on healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

“The people of Punjab voted for progress, and we are working tirelessly to deliver on that promise with sincerity and results, not rhetoric,” he said, adding that past administrations had slowed Punjab’s growth through misguided policies.

Arora noted that the villagers’ long-standing demand for better connectivity was finally being fulfilled under the current government. “Projects left incomplete for 75 years are now being prioritised and executed,” he remarked, pledging to complete all pending works within a year.

Drawing inspiration from his father, Babu Bhagwan Das, Arora said, “My father taught me that politics is not about showmanship, but about meaningful work.” He reaffirmed his commitment to serving Sunam with transparency and dedication, stating that better infrastructure would accelerate economic and social development in the region.

Congratulating residents on the launch, the minister also expressed confidence in the Aam Aadmi Party’s performance in the upcoming Tarn Taran by-election, predicting a decisive victory for the party’s candidate.

The inauguration event was attended by Avtar Singh Eilwal, Chairman of the Sangrur Market Committee, Parminder Kaur Brar, President of the Longowal Municipal Council, along with sarpanches, panches, AAP workers, and hundreds of local residents.
