BAGESHWAR: The Public Works Department has proposed 8 lakh rupees for repair and patchwork on the first 3 kilometres of the Ghingharutola-Devli motor road. The department’s Kapkot division has also begun the tender process while awaiting administrative and financial approval.
The road connects dozens of rural settlements with the district headquarters and local markets. Its opening stretch has developed potholes in several places, while the stone surfacing has come loose. These problems have made travel difficult for residents, drivers and schoolchildren.
Work planned on the first 3 kilometres
The road’s condition deteriorated further after the monsoon, according to the report. The proposed work covers the section from kilometre one to kilometre 3 and includes improvement work and patching.
The department began inviting tenders in advance so that construction would not be delayed while the formal approvals are completed. Work is expected to begin after the tender process is completed and the budget is allocated.
The proposed repairs are intended to improve access for residents of Devli and nearby villages. However, the available information does not confirm that the administrative and financial approvals have already been issued.
Department’s position
Amit Kumar Patel, executive engineer of the Public Works Department’s Kapkot division, said a proposal had been prepared for improvement work between kilometres one and 3.
He said the tender process was started in anticipation of approval, keeping rural convenience in mind. According to Patel, work can begin immediately after the formalities are completed.
Conclusion
The Ghingharutola-Devli road repair plan currently involves a proposed budget of 8 lakh rupees and an advance tender process. Actual work will begin after the tender procedure, approvals and budget allocation are completed.
