Rajouri-Thanamandi-Surankote Road Project | Progress of work reviewed - Greater Kashmir

Rajouri, Jan 8: The progress of work on Rajouri-Thanamandi-Surankote Road Project was reviewed today.

According to a press release, Deputy Commissioner Rajouri Om Prakash Bhagat convened a meeting to review the ongoing work on the pivotal project.

It is pertinent to mention here that this vital road serves as a lifeline for the Pir Panjal region, connecting the border district of Rajouri to the historic Mughal Road, maintained by the Border Roads Organization (BRO). The Rajouri-Thanamandi-Surankote Road is not just a transportation corridor but also the shortest route to the scenic Kashmir Valley.

This road intersects with the historical Mughal Road at Bafliaz in Poonch district. It serves as a pivotal conduit for hundreds of tourists, passenger vehicles, and trucks traveling to and from the Kashmir Valley, linking Jammu and various parts of the country. This crucial infrastructure venture holds immense promise for enhancing connectivity and fostering development in the region, making the review imperative.

A comprehensive review during the meeting indicated that the road encompasses a total length of 32 kilometers, and significant progress has already been achieved. Meanwhile, the Deputy Commissioner also discussed issues regarding the construction work and asked the officers to work in tandem to resolve the issues amicably.
