Minister seeks speedy nod to rural road projects
Public Works Department Minister Vikramaditya Singh today urged the Central Government to expedite the approval of 242 rural roads under the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Sadak Yojana (PMGSY)-III.
Vikramaditya met Giriraj Singh, Union Minister for Rural Development and Panchayati Raj, in New Delhi. He urged the minister to direct his department to sanction rural road projects, as the state was totally dependent on roads.
He told that the Union Minister that Himachal Pradesh had submitted detailed project reports (DPRs) of 242 roads having a total length of 2,565 km to be built at a cost of Rs 2,813 crore under the PMGSY-III.
