Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann recently visited Doda village in the Gidderbaha Assembly segment to inspect the proposed site for the Malwa canal. This canal project is anticipated to be a significant development for the region, marking the first canal to be constructed in Punjab since India's Independence.

Addressing a gathering after inspecting the work on the canal, Mann said the previous governments overlooked the needs of the state, which led to the over-exploitation of the groundwater and maximum blocks turning into dark zones.
