Himachal Pradesh Minister Vikramaditya Singh on Thursday announced that the state has received approval for 294 new rural roads under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), amounting to Rs 2,271 crore, covering 1,538 kilometres across the hill state.

Addressing a press conference in Shimla, Singh stated that the new approvals mark a “major milestone” for the state, particularly benefiting remote, inaccessible, and tribal regions such as Kinnaur, Bharmour, Chamba, and the upper Shimla areas.

“It gives me immense satisfaction that under the leadership of Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, we have secured a major package for Himachal Pradesh’s rural connectivity. This will strengthen the rural economy and benefit thousands of people living in difficult terrains,” Singh said.
