The road will be 4.50 km long and will fulfill the years-long pending demand of the people of Khadargal and Nazwal villages.

He was accompanied by senior BJP leader, Jairam Sharma, DDC member, Asha Rani, Sarpanch, Tarsem Singh, Sarpanch, Angrej Singh, Sarpanch, Vinod Singh, Naib Sarpanch, Banarsi Das, Panch, Naresh and others.
Ganga, while addressing the gathering highlighted the eight years performance of Narendra Modi Government at Centre and said that PM has taken keen interest in the development of far-flung areas of the country including J&K and this is the reason that many new projects worth thousands of crores of rupees were sanctioned for J&K as a special case.
He said Article 370 and 35 A were the biggest hurdles in the development and progress of J&K and with their abrogation in 2019 the J&K is fast marching on the path of progress and prosperity. He, while lambasting the opposition parties said they are spreading canards to mislead the people and leveling false allegations that no development has taken place.
He said construction of AIIMS, establishment of new medical colleges, engineering colleges, highways, flyovers, bridges, IIT, IIM, tunnels are a few among scores of new projects which have been sanctioned for J&K by Modi Government and some of them have been completed while work on others is going on.
