Meanwhile, Jalandhar Central constituency in-charge Nitin Kohli announced a long-awaited road improvement plan for Surya Enclave. Due to Kohli’s efforts, the colony was transferred from the Jalandhar Improvement Trust to the Jalandhar Municipal Corporation. Road construction work is now underway in the colony at a cost of ₹5.10 crore (approximately $5.10 million). This move is considered a major step toward creating safe, accessible, and modern road infrastructure in the area. Under the approved plan, the main road near Kendriya Sadan in Surya Enclave will be strengthened using advanced road construction technology. Additionally, repair and renovation work will also be carried out on the inner lanes of Surya Enclave.
