The government has cleared the 114-km Baijnath-Bharmour-Holi road project. The road will be constructed through the Dhauladhars, connecting Baijnath with Bharmour via the Jalsu Pass. This project had been hanging fire for the past 30 years.
Trilok Kapoor, Chairman, HP State Wool Federation, today told mediapersons that after the completion of the road project, the distance between Baijnath and Bharmour would be reduced by 200 km. The project would be funded by NABARD and it had released Rs 13 crore for the construction of 15-km road in the first phase. He thanked Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur for taking interest in getting the project cleared from the Centre.
