[Glad to see about my home town on the net. The town produced MP and MLA's but all failed to develop the city. You can not reach at night , even late evening from any corner. The condition of Banga, Garhshankar is worst.  Same is the case from Nawansher, Nangal. No bus route is availabl e from Jalnadhar to Garhshankar after 4.45 P.M. people suffer very much far this. Only a distance of 18-10 kms becomes a big problem. No one took any step towards this problem.  
The town is on the way to Anand pur sahib. But sorry the town could not develop. Town has been totally ingnored by first Kamal Chowdhary, and now being ignored by Mr. Avinash Khanna. who remains busy with other town/cities. but never thought for the development of the town , although he hales from this town. Oh God Give him some sense.
 

:'( Still Today  my home town garhshankar is in such state that one have to stand for filling up of his gas cylinder for hours in Q. There is no change in it. I used to go to nawanshar 13 yrs ago for filling up gas cylinder and stand in q from early in the morning . In 13 days gas cylinders are travelled only 12 Km. One can imagin what is the rate of progress in my home town. So sad that our representatives in Garhshakar are not able to full fill basic needs of their voters.Shame on u boss? If u can,t fullfill the basic needs of such small town how can nation expcet from you if you are again selected MLA or MP.
