In a statement issued here, he said that this MoU was a historic step towards improving the road infrastructure in both rural and urban areas of the state.

He said that during his recent visit to Delhi, he had urged the Central government to declare five important roads including the Salapad-Tattapani-Sunni-Khaira-Luhri road, as national highways. "It would not only benefit the Karsog area but Ani, Kumarsain, Rampur and Kinnaur regions as well, " he said , adding that the road was near the China border which also makes it important from a strategic point of view. Chairman and Managing Director of SJVNL Susheel Kumar gave details about the ongoing projects in the Sunni and Luhri areas. (Business Standard )
