Gurdaspur, Oct 14 (UNI) Punjab Revenue and Public Relations Minister Bikram Singh Majithia today inaugurated four km long bridge on river Beas constructed at a cost of Rs 62.50 crore at Dhanoa Pattan connecting Majha with Doaba regions.

He also divulged that this bridge would prove beneficial for the people of Gurdaspur and Hoshiarpur districts, especially the farmers of the adjoining areas whose farms were on the both sides of the river Beas.
He also revealed that earlier the farmers had to travel long distance to carry sugarcane to the factories but now the distance between Gurdaspur and Hoshiarpur being reduced by 50 km would act as the game changer in terms of development.
