BJP Warns of Kangra Mini Secretariat Gherao Over Delay in Road Repairs

Dharamshala, June 10 (UNI) Himachal Pradesh BJP Vice-President and MLA Pawan Kajal on Wednesday warned that the party would gherao the Kangra Mini Secretariat if repair work on the dilapidated road stretch from the Samela Tunnel to the Kangra Bypass does not commence within the next ten days.
Addressing the media, Kajal said the road serves as a crucial link for hundreds of vehicles travelling daily between Kangra, Dharamshala, Palampur, Pathankot and Dr. Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College at Tanda. However, its poor condition has been causing immense inconvenience to commuters and residents alike.
He alleged that despite the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) depositing Rs 11 crore with the Himachal Pradesh Public Works Department (PWD) nearly four months ago, road construction work has yet to begin. Kajal said a tender worth Rs 10.68 crore had already been awarded, but local officials had failed to initiate the project.
