Jammu and Kashmir Plans 110 Rural Roads Across Five Districts

The government plans to build 110 new roads in rural parts of Jammu and Kashmir.

These roads will stretch across nearly 598.5 kilometres.

They will be built in Udhampur, Doda, Ramban, Kathua and Kishtwar.

The projects will cost about Rs 1,503.53 crore.

Officials expect nearly 47,000 people to benefit.

Better roads can make it easier to reach schools, hospitals, markets and workplaces.

They may be especially helpful for children, older people and women in remote villages.

Some roads will use waste plastic during construction.

Officials also said better roads could help security forces travel more quickly.
