Sasrali, (Ludhiana), September 5

The district administration, in collaboration with the Indian Army, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and local villagers, is constructing a new temporary ring bandh approximately 500 meters from the existing Dhussi Bandh in Sasrali Colony on a war footing. This proactive measure aims to bolster flood protection for the region.

The construction is being closely monitored by Cabinet Minister Hardeep Singh Mundian and Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Jain.

Deputy Commissioner Jain, along with a battery of officials, stationed in Sasrali for the past two days, confirmed that the existing Dhussi Bandh remains intact with no breaches reported. Only soil has been eroded from some points, he added. “The new temporary ring bandh is a precautionary step to further ensure the safety and security of residents,” Jain stated.

The Public Works Department (PWD) and drainage department are working alongside the Indian Army to accelerate construction, reinforcing the region’s resilience against potential flooding.

ADC Amarjit Bains, SDMs Dr Baljinder Singh Dhillon, Jasleen Kaur Bhullar, Secretary RTA Kuldeep Bawa and others were present.
