SAMBA: Deputy Commissioner Samba Rajesh Sharma conducted a fortnightly inspection of the National Highway stretch from Bari Brahmana to Ghagwal to review ongoing construction works and ensure smooth traffic flow for public convenience. He was accompanied by SDMs, Tehsildars , Traffic Police officials, and officers from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).

The DC directed the executing agencies to expedite the pace of work while prioritizing measures to prevent public inconvenience.
