Una, October 27:- With a commitment to realising the vision of a Golden Haroli, Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri inspected various ongoing development projects in the Haroli Assembly constituency on Tuesday. He reviewed the progress of construction works and directed officials to ensure high quality in all projects and complete them within the stipulated time frame. He said that systematic efforts were underway to strengthen basic infrastructure, provide better sports facilities to young people and improve connectivity in the region.
The Deputy Chief Minister inspected the indoor stadium under construction at Government College, Khad, at an estimated cost of ₹14 crore. He said the stadium would play an important role in providing better sports facilities to the youth of the area. He directed officials to expedite the work with a view to completing it within the next three to four months.
He said the objective of development in Haroli was not limited to constructing buildings and roads, but also included creating opportunities for young people to progress. To promote sports activities, lighting arrangements were being made at playgrounds at various locations in the constituency. Lights costing ₹50 lakh have been installed at Khad for football and other sports. Similarly, lighting systems costing ₹50 lakh each have been installed at Nagdoli and Beetan, while approval has also been granted for installing lights worth ₹50 lakh at Nangal Khurd. These facilities will enable players to practise and play matches during the evening and at night as well.
Bridges over the Swan River to Strengthen Connectivity
The Deputy Chief Minister also inspected the construction of the Ghaluwal-Jhalera Bridge and the Pandoga-Tyudi Bridge over the Swan River, being built at a combined cost of approximately ₹37 crore. These bridges will make travel easier, improve connectivity between villages and provide greater convenience to residents. He directed officials to pay special attention to construction quality and complete the projects within the stipulated time.
Highlighting the importance of the Ghaluwal-Jhalera Bridge, he said that a bridge had been constructed at Ghaluwal in the 1960s by Pratap Singh Kairon, the then Chief Minister of Punjab. The construction of a new bridge at the site after nearly six decades was an important achievement for the region. Along with the Haroli-Rampur and Pandoga-Tyudi bridges, it will further strengthen regional connectivity and help accelerate development activities.
Cooperative Training Centre Being Built at Panjawar at a Cost of ₹8.5 Crore
Mukesh Agnihotri also inspected the Cooperative Training Centre and Community Centre being constructed at Panjawar at an estimated cost of ₹8.5 crore in the name of Mian Hira Singh. Reviewing the progress of the construction work, he stressed the need to complete the project on schedule. He said that establishing the institution in the name of a distinguished personality who contributed to the cooperative sector would familiarise the younger generation with his contribution and strengthen the cooperative movement.

During his inspection of development projects, Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri also attended the Shrimad Bhagwat Katha Gyan Yajna organised at Santoshi Mata Temple in Khad. He listened to the religious discourse delivered by Acharya Tarun Dogra and bowed before the Almighty, praying for the happiness, prosperity and well-being of the people of the region.
