UD minister to PWD: Repair, maintain roads

Following complaints by apple growers that the roads, especially the panchayat roads, were in bad shape in the middle of the harvesting season, Urban Development Minster Suresh Bhardwaj has asked the district administration and PWD officials to ensure the maintenance of the roads.

“The administration should focus mainly on the panchayat roads. Considering that the apple season has hit the peak, it’s important to repair the roads and keep them well maintained,” the minister said while chairing a meeting with DC Shimla and PWD officials here yesterday.
