Uttarakhand CM Dhami Begins Rs. 149.7 mn Road Widening Project

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami performed the foundation ceremony for a Rs. 149.7 mn road-widening project between Khatima Chowk and Tharu Vikas Bhawan on Tuesday. The project is intended to improve traffic movement and ease congestion along the route.

Dhami attended the ceremony at Rana Market on Sitarganj Road. The work is expected to make commuting easier for residents, traders and people travelling from neighbouring areas, while also improving traffic management on the busy stretch.

The Chief Minister said the state government was committed to the overall development of Khatima and was working to strengthen infrastructure and basic services. He referred to construction of a building at the government college and the modernisation of industrial training institutes and girls’ schools.

Other projects mentioned at the event included road widening, bridge construction and improvements to bus stand facilities. The government was also focusing on the operation of the sugar mill, timely crushing of sugarcane and payments to farmers, according to the details shared at the programme.

Dhami said drainage improvement work was underway in Khatima. Development of an Oxygen Park, Crocodile Park and religious sites was expected to support tourism activity, while efforts to make the town cleaner and better equipped would continue.

Before reaching the venue, Dhami walked from Khatima Chowk, where residents welcomed him at several points with flowers and garlands. District panchayat chairperson Ajay Maurya, other public representatives and officials attended the event. The ceremony formed part of the state government’s broader infrastructure and civic development programme for the area.
