Nangal, the first modern city developed in Independent India, will soon be restored to its former glory. Cabinet Minister Harjot Singh Bains expressed this in a press statement issued here today.

He said that Nangal city, which was developed by NFL and BBMB, has lost its sheen and title as a developed city due to the neglect of previous regimes.

Cabinet Minister said that CM Bhagwant Singh Mann is giving special attention to restore the old glory of this city and Rs 20.50 crore are being spent on the development of Nangal city. He said that a project has been prepared at a cost of Rs 10 crores to ensure uninterrupted potable water supply to Nangal city, besides increasing it from currently 2 MD to 5 md. He said with this upgradation Nangal has the capacity to meet the drinking water demand arising in the city during the next two decades.
Apart from this, the capacity of sewage treatment plant in Nangal city is also being increased by two and a half times. Along with this, 30 thousand saplings are being planted for the purpose of making Nangal city green.
