Quality Concerns Raised Over Gill Road Construction Linking Ludhiana and Malerkotla
What happened
Gill Road, a busy stretch connecting Ludhiana to Malerkotla, is showing signs of deterioration, including visible cracks, loose gravel, and uneven patches. Despite nearly Rs 4.40 crore being spent on construction and resurfacing, concerns have been raised regarding the quality of the work and the supervision by the Municipal Corporation. Residents have demanded a comprehensive inspection of the road.

Why it matters
The road is a key connectivity point between Ludhiana and Malerkotla. The appearance of cracks and the need for repairs during the project itself have prompted questions about the durability of the infrastructure and the use of public funds. This issue arises amid broader road washing and infrastructure projects underway in the region.
Road washing and infrastructure projects were recently started in Ludhiana, Amritsar, and Bathinda, with the National Highways Authority of India managing road management in Ludhiana.
