HP Mukhya Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana
In the HP budget, the state government has announced spending under Mukhya Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana to speed up road connectivity to left out villages and habitations. The proposed expenditure is more than the earlier outlays, which shows the focus on rural roads.
Under the scheme, the state government develops road connectivity between villages, habitations and cities. MMGSY permits upgradation of existing roads to the prescribed standards in districts where all eligible habitations of the designated population size have been provided all weather road connectivity.
The state government received grievances about partial connectivity because end roads penetrating into the heart of habitations were not built. The scheme was launched to give villages better and easy road access and to reduce the gap in lifestyle and economic development between cities and villages.
Preventive maintenance of roads is also taken up using micro surfacing, bitumen slurry and fog seal techniques. This helps keep roads free of pot holes and in good condition. Funds are also spent on W metal beam crash barriers to improve road safety on hill roads.
