He thanked the Centre for its ongoing support and sought further assistance in key areas.<\/p>\n<p>He also requested the release of \u20b97.63 crore pending under the Centre\u2019s special assistance scheme for capital investment, specifically for scrapping old vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>To improve strategic and industrial connectivity, the Deputy CM proposed declaring the Nangal\u2013Jaijon road as a National Highway, noting its significance for the upcoming bulk drug park. A DPR worth \u20b9429 crore has been prepared and will be submitted under the Gati Shakti scheme, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Seeking to boost religious tourism, Agnihotri urged the Union Minister to extend the proposed four-laning of NH-503A from Amritsar\u2013Hoshiarpur to Jhaleda via Bankhandi, a 15-km stretch. He said the extension would benefit pilgrims travelling to Shri Anandpur Sahib and Mata Chintpurni.<\/p>\n<p>He also raised the issue of improved road connectivity between Chandigarh and the Baddi industrial hub, a matter which Gadkari confirmed is under active consideration by the Central government.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Deputy CM requested approval for upgrading the link road from Jaijon Modh to Tahliwal Chowk via Bhai-Ka-Modh and constructing three bridges along the stretch, seeking \u20b948.69 crore under the Central Road and Infrastructure Fund (CRIF).<\/p>\n<p>Union Minister Gadkari assured full cooperation and directed officials to process the proposals promptly.
