DEHRADUN, 22 Aug: Cabinet Minister Dr. Dhan Singh Rawat today held a meeting of high officials of the National Highways Authority and Public Works Department regarding new construction, strengthening, widening and asphalting of roads in his constituency, Srinagar, and other adjacent motor roads.
The motor roads of the National Highways and Public Works Department will be widened and asphalted soon in his constituency. The Buakhal-Chopadi National Highway will be connected to the populated area through re-alignment, with which a dozen villages of the area will be directly connected.
