Minister Chauhan opens Patwar Circle building

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.

Expressing gratitude to the people of Shillai for electing him as their representative for the sixth consecutive term, Chauhan reaffirmed his commitment to the development of the constituency. He underlined that the progress of the region is his moral responsibility and detailed the allocation of nearly ₹200 crore for various developmental activities. This funding is being utilized to improve essential infrastructure, including roads, irrigation facilities, and healthcare services.

Chauhan also mentioned the recent foundation laying of the Salwala-Sataun road, which is being constructed at a cost of ₹15 crore. This road will serve as an alternative route in case of disruption on the Kacchi Dhang-Shillai road. Additionally, repair and metaling work for approximately 200 kilometres of roads have been completed, further enhancing connectivity across the constituency.

During the event, Chauhan announced financial allocations for various local development initiatives. These included ₹15 lakh for the Chowki community hall, ₹3 lakh for the connecting road from NH-707 to the Chowki community hall and another ₹3 lakh for development work on Kyunal temple premises.
