Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Thursday virtually inaugurated the reconstruction and widening of the Gadarpur-Dineshpur-Matkota-Haldwani motor road in Udham Singh Nagar district. The project, estimated at Rs 550 million, is being executed under the Central Road Infrastructure Fund and aims to enhance regional connectivity and economic growth.

The project includes strengthening the Manunagar-Gadarpur-Dineshpur-Matkota-Haldwani route, connecting Gadarpur, Dineshpur, Matkota, and Chhatarpur with Bilaspur in Uttar Pradesh. CM Dhami noted that the project is a significant milestone for the Terai region and will benefit nearly two lakh residents, traders, and industrial workers by providing safer, smoother, and faster travel.

Highlighting the broader development agenda, the Chief Minister said that Uttarakhand is seeing major improvements in roads, education, healthcare, and drinking water infrastructure. Road connectivity, especially in hilly terrain prone to natural disasters, is being restored swiftly with repair work carried out on a war footing.

CM Dhami added that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, a vast road network is being developed even in border areas. The “double-engine government” is completing long-pending projects, boosting trade, industry, and tourism, and driving overall socio-economic development across the state.
