Minister of State for Railways Ravneet Bittu announced the Ferozepur-Patti Rail Link Sanctioned plan, highlighting its strategic and economic importance. Officials confirmed that Punjab’s Chief Secretary has been asked to start the land acquisition process immediately.

Once completed, the new rail line will cut the rail distance between Ferozepur and Amritsar by nearly 98 km. The project will not only enhance regional passenger and freight connectivity but will also link the border district directly with major ports in Gujarat. This development strengthens both trade and defense mobility, benefitting the state’s economy and border infrastructure.

Sahney’s donation is the first major contribution to this campaign. The funds will help restore infrastructure in flood-hit areas. Sahney also donated 50 tractors and 10 JCB machines through his Sun Foundation to help remove silt from villages and towns.

The floods caused widespread damage to Punjab’s roads and bridges. Thousands of kilometers of roads and many bridges were destroyed. The state faces significant financial challenges. The Mission Chardi Kalan campaign aims to raise funds to aid recovery and rebuild vital infrastructure.

NRIs, local philanthropists, and others have already contributed money and goods. This campaign is critical to helping Punjab get back on its feet and recover from the disaster.
