Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat on Friday said the cap of 5.5 m width in the Char Dham road project won’t work from the strategic point of view in the sensitive border areas of the state.
Rawat was addressing an online press conference on the completion of three-and-a-half years of the BJP government led by him. “5.5 metre road width se kaam nahi chalega (5.5 m road width won’t work),” he said in reply to a query.
He said he will urge the Centre to look into the matter and take a decision and stressed that wider roads are required for activities related to national security in border areas.
