Accidents here form a major chunk of the overall mishaps on the 18-km Airport Road according to Mohali police.

Naveen Pal, SHO at Mataur police station, said, “We didn’t receive any formal complaint and no case was registered. No fatality or information regarding injury to any passenger was received”.

The gurdwara management had last month agreed to give up the land and relocate, which will allow the engineering wing of GMADA to start straightening the road. But, the agreement is yet to be signed.

Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) had offered the gurdwara management land for relocation in front of Gurdwara Singh Shaheedan in Sohana.
