Black-topped roads expose poor work done under PMGSY

Within months after the macadamisation of road under the flagship scheme, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), in villages/areas of Arnia Block of Jammu district, the uprooting of black-topping has exposed the poor execution of work by the executing agencies to provide all-weather road connectivity in rural areas.

After The Tribune carried a story regarding poor implementation of the flagship scheme in its January 6, 2020 edition, a few of the locals have called the office. During an interaction with a few of the people from the village as well as the adjoining areas, it came to light that the black topping of the road was completed in November 2019.
