Informing this in a letter to Dr Singh, the Minister of Rural Development and Agriculture & Farmers Welfare Shivraj Singh Chouhan said, “I am pleased to inform you that under PMGSY-IV Batch-II (2025–26), the Government of India has approved 121 road works (covering 652.51 kilometres) in your parliamentary constituency, at an estimated cost of ₹1524.46 crore, which will provide road connectivity to 138 habitations. A list of the works sanctioned in your parliamentary constituency from the said works is attached”.

“These roads will not only strengthen the infrastructure in rural areas but also contribute significantly to the socio-economic development of the region. For successful implementation, it is essential that construction proceeds swiftly and that quality is ensured effectively, so that the public can benefit from these roads for a long time”, Chouhan said.

“I would be grateful if, in your capacity as a public representative, you could provide necessary guidance to the Union Territory to ensure that these road projects are completed on time without compromising on quality”, Chouhan added in the letter.

Chouhan had last week approved rural road projects worth Rs 3,566 crore to boost connectivity in Jammu and Kashmir.
