Rs 45 cr allocated to construct roads in Himachal's Bharari sub-division: Dharmani

He said the fund was directed through NABARD under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) and other schemes that aimed to improve road facilities in the area. The minister further said the state government had prioritised rural road expansion that would not only enhance traffic facilities in the area but also improve living standards. He said the improved connectivity would facilitate ease of movement, improve marketing and transportation of agricultural produce, boost social and economic activities, and benefit local business and industry.

Dharmani said the expansion of the road network would improve the access to education, health, and other essential services, uplifting the quality of life for rural residents. He said his dream was to make the constituency a prosperous and modern one, which would open new avenues of development for its residents.

The major projects under PMGSY included upgrading of the road from Gahar to Kate at an estimated cost of Rs 5.16 crore, Targhel to Ladraur road at Rs 4.75 crore and Sumari to lower Bhaparal road at Rs 3.7 crores. The works, including tarring, construction of culverts, protective walls and upgrading, would be undertaken, he added.
