UDHAMPUR, Jan 5: BJP spokesperson Ranbir Singh Pathania today said that metalled roads are arteries of a civilized society.
Pathania said this while addressing a meeting of party cadres at Ramnagar and media persons after work on Roun-Ramnagar Road started amongst thundering accolades from the local public. He said that a multi crore project costing Rs 22.59 crore under PMGSY upgradation has formally went off. He said this is in the same vein that another project, Sira to Shiv Gali on Dudu-SudhMahadev axis costing Rupee 53.99 crores stands sanctioned.
“The allotment process of both the projects was pending in Civil Secretariat at the end of Administrative Secretary PWD. While Roun-Ramnagar road stands transferred from PWD to PMGSY resulting in even minor repairs have not been done for almost one year which led to deterioration of the roads. The local commuters were facing lot of difficulties in traveling the distance from Rown to Ramnagar,” Pathania said, adding, the road acts as a lifeline for almost two lakh people.
The BJP spokesperson called for execution of qualitative work on Roun-Ramnagar Road and its completion within stipulated time period. He also called for expediting the work on the Jal Jeevan Mission projects. “This is an ambitious project of Bharat Sarkar through which piped water is being supplied to each and every household,” he added.
Pathania also called upon the local administration to brace up with regard to the digital delivery of services. Other issues regarding drinking water, electricity and health were also discussed in the meeting. He called for better synergy between officers and PRIs for better administration of services and execution of public projects more effectively.
