JAMMU, Feb 24: Minister for Housing, Horticulture and Culture Raman Bhalla has said that Government is committed to connect every nook and corner of the State by providing all weather road connectivity.
This was stated by the Minister while interacting with the villagers after laying foundation stone of main road to Shamshan Ghat link road at Dharap village, here today.
Mr. Bhalla asked the Rural Development Department engineers to complete this road within stipulated time by using quality material. For improving the drinking water scenario in Dharap and Joogian Mohalla, the Minister said the Government has released Rs. 4 crore under Dharap Kothey Water Supply Scheme for digging of deep drill tubewell and laying of water supply pipes in uncovered areas of the villages, adding that the projects are under progress and would be dedicated to the people by May this year.
