Road repair work has begun on the Mangawali-to-Sher Ka Danda stretch in Nainital under a broader programme to improve the city’s internal roads. The project is being carried out by the Public Works Department (PWD).

According to PWD assistant engineer Tula Ram Tamta, the department is undertaking improvement work on 29 roads at a cost of 6 crore rupees. More than 22 roads included in the programme have been completed so far.

Concrete work on the route

Ward councillor Ankit said concrete cement (CC) construction is being carried out on the Mangawali-to-Sher Ka Danda road. Residents have been asked not to drive on the route while construction is under way.

The appeal is intended to prevent traffic from affecting the quality of the newly constructed surface. The contractor has also been instructed to carry out regular watering after construction, a step intended to support the roadwork as it settles.

The start of the work has been welcomed by local residents. The ongoing construction may require people using the route to avoid driving through the work area until the repairs are completed.

Conclusion

Repairs on the Mangawali-to-Sher Ka Danda road are now under way as part of Nainital’s 6-crore-rupee programme covering 29 internal roads. Residents have been asked to keep vehicles away from the construction zone and allow the CC work to proceed.
