The project grew under the leadership of Baba Satnam Singh from the Kar Seva Jatha Kila Anandgarh Sahib. He and his team prepared the road before the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur. The group widened, levelled, and metalled the road in one year and nine months. They built bridges and ensured smooth travel for devotees heading to major religious sites such as Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib, Mata Naina Devi Temple, and Kiratpur Sahib.

Villagers contributed labour, materials, and even private land. They understood the need for a better route. Many families offered parts of their fields to help complete the project. The Jatha also announced compensation at four times the registered value to support landowners.

The unique “Seva Toll” allows travellers to donate any amount. Local MLA and Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains also extended support, which increased public participation.

This road now stands as a symbol of faith, teamwork, and determination.
