The central government has approved Himachal Pradesh’s proposal to metal the rural roads under Phase IV of the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY-IV), Public Works Department Minister Vikramaditya Singh announced. This initiative will see the metalling of approximately 1,000 to 1,500 kilometres of rural roads, significantly improving connectivity in the state’s remote areas. Singh credited Union Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan for supporting the project, which he emphasised will bolster rural infrastructure and enhance accessibility for residents in far-flung regions. Additionally, Singh highlighted efforts to restore road connectivity in areas impacted by heavy snowfall. Adequate manpower and machinery have been deployed to ensure roads are cleared promptly. With the ongoing tourism season, the state government is focused on ensuring safe and seamless travel for both tourists and locals. Singh reaffirmed the government’s commitment to maintaining smooth transportation and addressing road-related challenges efficiently. (Financial Express)
