Chandigarh, Jun 8 (PTI) Punjab Industries and Commerce Minister Aman Arora and Power Minister Tarunpreet Singh Sond on Monday inaugurated the newly commissioned 66 kV Grid Substation at Focal Point, Mubarikpur, Derabassi.

Expressing confidence that Punjab would surpass its investment target of Rs 65,000 crore during the current fiscal year, he assured industrialists of resolving their pending issues on priority.
Sond highlighted several landmark initiatives undertaken by the Punjab government for industrial development.
He said the government is upgrading Punjab's power infrastructure on a war footing to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply and added that power outages would soon become a matter of history in the state.
MLA Derabassi Kuljit Singh Randhawa thanked both ministers for dedicating the project to the people and said the construction of the substation had commenced in 2023 and its successful commissioning marks an important milestone for the region.
The ministers stated that Punjab government is continuously strengthening the state's power infrastructure to provide reliable, quality and uninterrupted electricity supply.
