New Delhi, October 12 (Daily Kiran) : Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami met with Central Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan in New Delhi to discuss the construction and approval of rural roads under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) in Uttarakhand.
During the meeting, Dhami informed Chouhan that the state has submitted proposals for 315 roads aimed at connecting rural areas to the road network.
