The construction work on the nine-km-long Barnagi-Batahad-Mashiyar road for the remote Mashiyar gram panchayat of Banjar subdivision has been hanging fire for the past 16 years. The issue has been raised many times through local leaders and the Chief Minister’s helpline, but to no avail. About six km of kuchha road had been made in 2007, but it is in a bad condition, hence making it accident-prone. The remaining work of the road should be completed at the earliest.
