MOHALI | October 24, 2026: A ₹55-lakh paver-block project has been taken up for lanes in Mauli Baidwan village, Ward 26, as the Mohali civic body continues to focus on infrastructure in areas recently brought within municipal limits.
According to a report published by Hindustan Times on October 24, Mayor Sarabjit Singh Samana laid the foundation stone for the work. The project has been awarded to Gopal Cooperative Society and is intended to improve the condition of village lanes and make everyday movement easier for residents.

What the ₹55-lakh Mauli Baidwan project covers
The announced work involves installing interlocking paver blocks in various lanes of Mauli Baidwan. The project is intended to upgrade local access routes as the village adjusts to its inclusion within the Municipal Corporation of Mohali.
Better lane surfaces can make routine movement more convenient for residents, visitors and local service vehicles. The report does not specify the total lane length, a completion deadline or a lane-by-lane schedule, so those details should be treated as unannounced unless the civic body issues a further update.
Water supply is also on the local agenda
The mayor said a new tubewell was being installed in the village to address drinking-water shortages. He also said Mauli Baidwan would be connected to canal water soon. The report did not provide a commissioning date or a detailed timeline for the proposed canal-water connection.
These water-supply measures are separate from the ₹55-lakh paver-block project. Keeping the two initiatives distinct helps residents track the progress and scope of each civic work.
Residents raise garbage and road concerns
The report also recorded local concerns that remain unresolved. Residents flagged garbage at the village’s ready-mix concrete (RMC) point and damage to a road running along the village periphery. Samana assured residents that both issues would be addressed, according to the report.
These concerns underline that neighbourhood infrastructure involves more than lane surfacing alone. Waste handling, road maintenance and reliable water supply also affect day-to-day conditions. The assurances reported on October 24 should not be read as confirmation that the garbage and damaged-road issues have already been fixed.
Why the project matters after municipal inclusion
Mauli Baidwan has recently been brought within the municipal corporation’s limits. The paver-block work is being presented as part of the effort to improve civic amenities in newly incorporated areas.
A separate report by The Tribune on October 15 said Mohali’s Municipal Corporation Finance and Contracts Committee had approved development works worth around ₹25 crore, including proposals for new tubewells in several villages, among them Mauli Baidwan. That wider approval is separate from the ₹55-lakh paver-block project and should not be mistaken for its budget.
For residents, the next useful updates will be practical ones: which lanes are covered, when work is expected to finish, whether access will be restricted during construction, and when the water-supply measures are ready for use. No completion date for the paver-block project was provided in the October 24 report.
