To ensure judicious use of the public money for development purposes, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Monday announced to introduce ‘Artificial Intelligence’ (AI) for need based construction of the rural roads in the state.
Chairing a meeting of the Punjab Mandi Board at his office today, the CM gave a nod for introducing ‘Artificial Intelligence’ for need based construction of the rural roads in the state.

He said this step will ensure optimum use of the existing resources of the state along with ensuring top quality work on rural roads.

Mann said this technique will revolutionise the construction work on roads by saving a lot of public money. He said the state government has decided to give a major facelift to the link road infrastructure by widening, strengthening and upgradation of rural roads across the state.
