He was told that 42 percent of package 1 while 25.5 percent of package 2 had been completed.

Later, Randhawa visited Shahdara Chowk to inspect the development work around the newly constructed flyover. He instructed the relevant officials and the contractors to expedite the remaining work, including plantation, and construction of side roads and drains, for early completion of this mega project. The DG told them that a traffic management plan should be implemented with the assistance of the traffic police at Shahdara Chowk.
