The Punjab administration has commenced a irrigation development project in Gadshankar, a village under Jalandhar district, with an allocated budget of ₹1.61 crore. The scheme is intended to enhance irrigation facilities for the surrounding agricultural lands, which rely heavily on seasonal rainfall.
