Chandigarh, 19 February, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for approving the Rs. 1,463.95 crore 6-lane, access-controlled greenfield spur under the Tricity Ring Road project. Chugh stated that this decision marks a significant milestone in strengthening Punjab’s infrastructure framework.
Tarun Chugh said the project will provide long-awaited relief from congestion across key junctions in Mohali, Chandigarh and Panchkula.
Traffic pressure on NH-44, NH-205A and NH-152 will reduce substantially, while connectivity towards Himachal Pradesh, particularly the Shimla region, will become faster and more seamless. He emphasized that the project represents a broader vision of regional mobility and integrated development.
Chugh further added that the corridor will significantly benefit industry, trade, tourism and the logistics sector. Farmers, traders, entrepreneurs and youth will gain from improved transportation efficiency, reduced travel time and lower fuel consumption. The project will help transform the Tricity region into a more structured and growth-oriented urban cluster.
Tarun Chugh stated that under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, Punjab continues to witness focused infrastructure expansion. The Central Government remains committed to translating policy into tangible development on the ground and ensuring long-term prosperity for the state.
