PMGSY III to see upgrade of 45 roads in Himachal Pradesh

Forty-five roads in Himachal Pradesh have been picked for upgrade under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna (PMGSY) III. The Centre has sanctioned Rs 4.20 billion for upgrading 440 km of rural roads in various districts of the state.

“The tendering has been done for all 45 roads selected for upgradation. Only those PMGSY roads have been selected for upgradation which were metalled at least 10 years back,” said a Public Works Department official.

Overall, 3,125 km of rural roads will be upgraded under the PMGSY-III. “For the upgradation of the remaining 2,600 km of roads, the Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) are being prepared,” the official said.

He added that the roads for upgradation have been selected through a software prepared by the Ministry of Rural Development. The software prioritizes roads on the basis of fixed parameters to ensure fair selection.

Out of the 45 roads selected in the first phase of PMGSY III, the maximum roads, 11 each have been selected in Kullu and Sirmaur. Six roads each have been selected in Chamba and Mandi districts.
