Harshwardhan Chauhan, Minister for Industries, Parliamentary Affairs and Labour and Employment, inaugurated the newly constructed Patwar Circle building in Kamarau today and laid the foundation stone for a Primary Health Centre (PHC) building, which will be built at a cost of ₹1.37 crore. Earlier in the day, he also initiated the construction of the Chiloun-Chowki-Mirgwal road.

Speaking at a public gathering held in the community hall of Chowki village, Chauhan emphasized that the demand for the Patwar Circle office and a PHC in Kamarau had been longstanding. He expressed satisfaction at being able to inaugurate the Patwar Circle building and assured that the PHC building would be completed and operational within a year.

The minister further highlighted the importance of the Chiloun-Chowki-Mirgwal road project, whose construction will commence soon. This road is anticipated to benefit approximately 1,200 residents from villages such as Tikker, Kunair, Tilchowki, Bagh and Tilwadi. He said that the road would enhance connectivity and enable farmers to transport their cash crops to market hubs with greater ease. Additionally, improved road access will facilitate better healthcare and other essential services for these remote areas.
