He said that this MoU was a historic step that would set new milestones in improving the road infrastructure in both rural and urban areas of the state. Vikramaditya Singh said that the ongoing efforts of the PWD would strengthen the rural connectivity and improve road facilities.

It would not only benefit the Karsog area but Ani, Kumarsain, Rampur and Kinnaur regions as well.

He said that as the road was near the China border which makes it important from strategic point of view also.

Secretary PWD Abhishek Jain and other senior officers of the PWD and SJVNL were present on the occasion.
