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.
