CM Flying Squad conducting surprise inspections of rural road construction
The formation of the CM Flying Squad in Punjab is the result of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s foresight. This special team travels throughout the state conducting surprise inspections of rural road construction and repair work. The team includes superintending engineers and other senior officials from the Punjab Mandi Board and Public Works Department. The main objective of this squad is to ensure complete compliance with established standards in road construction. It ensures that contractors and engineers fulfill their responsibilities honestly. It also ensures that public money is not misused.
This action is part of a massive project under which the Punjab government has initiated historic work to repair and upgrade 19,491 kilometers of rural link roads across the state. The total cost of this project is ₹4,150.42 crore and it covers approximately 7,373 roads. The biggest feature of this project is that contractors will have to maintain these roads for the next five years, which is happening for the first time in Punjab’s history. This arrangement is a concrete step to secure the long-term quality of roads.
After this action in Bhikhi, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has sent a clear message. His government is following a zero-tolerance policy toward corruption and negligence. He said that roads in Punjab’s villages are the lifeline of farmers. They are crucial for rural brothers and sisters. Any kind of negligence on these roads will not be tolerated. The Mann government’s decision shows that it understands the value of every rupee of public money. It is committed to using it in the right place.
government will no longer tolerate their misconduct
The CM Flying Squad is conducting strict monitoring. This has sent a new message to contractors and officials. The government will no longer tolerate their misconduct. It has also made it clear that officials will recover funds if they find any deficiency in road quality. They will blacklist contractors who make mistakes. Additionally, the government has implemented a third-party audit system to maintain complete transparency. This strictness will not only ensure quality but also strengthen public trust.
This major improvement in rural roads is set to make rural transportation easier. It will facilitate faster movement of agricultural products. This improvement will also boost the rural economy. Better roads will make it easier for farmers to transport their crops to markets and save both time and money. This initiative supports the broader vision of “Nava Punjab” (New Punjab).

This action by the CM Flying Squad in Bhikhi sends a strong message. It is directed to every district and every village in Punjab. The Mann government takes accountability as seriously as development. This incident shows that clear intentions and honest work can bring change. Punjab is now rapidly moving toward becoming a corruption-free state. It is becoming development-oriented. Full credit for this goes to the Mann government’s firm determination. Their dedication to the people makes this possible.
