PAKYONG,: A 2.5 km rural road connecting Chalamthang to Lower Tareythang under Rhenock constituency was inaugurated by the Chief Minister’s advisor Bishnu Kumar Khatiwara on Tuesday. The newly inaugurated road also consists of two 30-m span steel bridges over Narey Khola and Durey Khola.
The inauguration was done to mark the 25th year of PMGSY in presence of Pakyong upa-adhyaksha Prabha Pradhan, Taza Amba zilla panchayat Dr. Subhatra Dangal, SE TN Adhikari, Pakyong SDM Dakman Subba, panchayats and local residents.
Rural Development AE Deepak Gurung shared that the rural road along with two steel bridges was constructed at a cost of Rs. 3.41 crore and provides a stable connectivity to the villages under Chalamthang Pachyekhani and Taza Ambu GPUs.
Khatiwara thanked the Rural Development department and concerned contractor for constructing the new road and the two steel bridges within the specified period, benefiting the local public. He also thanked Chief Minister PS Golay, also the area MLA of Rhenock constituency, for addressing the needs of the public.
The road from Chalamthang to Lower Tareythang was totally cut-off due to severe landslides of Kit Golai. Due to the re-alignment and efforts put in by the engineers, the road is made possible to connect with nearby villages.
Local public who had lost their hopes for road connectivity expressed their happiness to the department, area MLA-cum-Chief Minister PS Golay, and the contractor after benefiting with the road connectivity.
