A Punjab farmer is moving his two-storey house 500 feet away from its current location to facilitate the construction of an expressway.

Sukhwinder Singh Sukhi, the farmer, is moving his home after the structure built on his field in Roshanwla village in Sangrur came in the way of the Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway.

Sukhwinder Singh spent around 15m rupees ($188,000; £159,000) to build it in 2019.

"I was offered compensation but didn't want to build another house," says Mr Singh.

A team of 20 men has been assigned to move it now.
