Mankotia Inaugurates Rs. 113.5 mn PMGSY Road Project

Chenani-Ghordi MLA Balwant Singh Mankotia inaugurated construction of a 4.5-kilometre road connecting Barmeen Road at Km 6 with Lowaran Paddar in Hartyan Panchayat on November 4, 2026. The project is being executed under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) at an estimated cost of Rs. 113.5 mn.

The road is intended to improve connectivity for residents of Lowaran Paddar and neighbouring areas. The project is also expected to provide better access to essential services, education, healthcare and economic opportunities, while supporting broader development in the region.

Mankotia credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership and the Union Government’s focus on rural infrastructure in Jammu and Kashmir for supporting connectivity in remote areas. He also acknowledged Union Minister of State Dr Jitendra Singh, the Ministry of Rural Development and departments involved in facilitating the project under PMGSY.

The MLA said strengthening road links in remote areas remained a priority in the Chenani-Ghordi constituency. He assured residents that efforts would continue to address public concerns and accelerate development activity across the constituency.

The inauguration adds to ongoing efforts to improve rural road infrastructure in Chenani-Ghordi. Once completed, the route is intended to strengthen access between Barmeen Road and Lowaran Paddar and make everyday travel easier for residents of Hartyan Panchayat and surrounding settlements.
