Vidhan Sabha Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania today said efforts were afoot to link the remaining villages of the Bhattiyat Assembly constituency in Chamba district with road under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY). He presided over the closing ceremony of a block-level Under-12 sports tournament at Hobar in the district.

He said that Rs 58 crore would be spent on the construction of a double-lane road from Sihunta to Lahru while Rs 3 crore was being spent on metalling and tarring the Hobar-Khareda road.
