Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu made a significant road infrastructure announcement during a public event at Neri Kalan in the Kasauli Constituency of Solan district on Thursday. He declared that Rs 20 crore would be allocated for the construction of the Johadji–Malla road.
This funding commitment was made while addressing a gathering of local residents in the area. The project is expected to improve connectivity for villages along the proposed route, benefiting daily commuters and farmers who rely on road transport.
The announcement, reported by Arvind Kashyap from Solan on June 25, comes as part of the state government's focus on rural infrastructure development. Residents of Neri Kalan and surrounding hamlets are the primary beneficiaries of this road project.
No further details about the timeline for construction or the agency responsible for execution were provided during the event. The allocation is specifically earmarked for the Johadji–Malla road, which serves as a vital link in the Kasauli region.
Local residents have expressed that improved road access will ease transportation of agricultural produce and enhance access to schools and healthcare facilities. The road project is expected to generate employment opportunities for local workers during the construction phase.
The Chief Minister's announcement underscores the state government's commitment to addressing infrastructure gaps in rural Himachal Pradesh. Further updates on the project's implementation are awaited from the state public works department.
