REASI, SEPTEMBER 02: In a
significant development, an 11 Km Jij to Narkote via Chakalwala road project
has been sanctioned under Central Road Fund (CRF) for district Reasi.
The road
would be constructed at an estimated cost of Rs. 18.50 crore which will connect
the areas of Prankote, Narkote, Thub, Thanole, Pattian, Chakalwala, Dhakikote,
Syan, Jij etc.
The road is a part of 7 road projects sanctioned under CRF for Jammu and
Kashmir State by the Government of India for the year 2017-18 to strengthen the
existing roads network already being laid down under PMGSY and other schemes.
Pertinently, all the villages of Jij and Narkote belts do not have an
easy access in all respects and to reach such locations from Tehsil
headquarter, the local residents have to undertake one day complete on foot
journey and from Sub-Division Dharmari, more than a day time is taken to reach
there. Besides, Narkote and Prankote are located at border of district Reasi
which had been devoid of road networks and this road project would certainly
facilitate the people of these inaccessible areas with better connectivity.
Moreover, some years ago, one road under PMGSY was constructed up to
village Jij of Tehsil Thakrakote and other from Rud bridge to Thakrakote, but
both were not extended to extreme of the border of district for the benefit of
local people.
