He also advocated for the construction of a pathway leading from the footbridge at Katal Batal to Bhair Devsthan and requested improvements to the Surjwan-Chatta-Sandi road, while also seeking enhancements to the transport infrastructure in these regions.
The Deputy Chief Minister reaffirmed his dedication to prioritizing developmental initiatives and assured that all raised concerns would be addressed swiftly.
Accompanying Sawhney were Varinder Singh Manhas, Sat Pal Sapolia, Ram Magotra, Hader Hussain, Din Mohd, Mohd Aslam, Sultan Mohd, and Madam Lal.
