PMGSY Road Renovation Begins in Medinipur
A new road is being built in a place called Medinipur in West Bengal, India.
The road is 5.8 kilometers long and will have four new bridges.
The people who live there are very happy because the old road was in bad condition and caused many problems, especially for students going to school.
The government is building this road to help connect different villages and make life better for the people living there.
The project is expected to cost more than Rs 5 crore.
A local leader visited the construction site and said the road is being built well and will benefit many people.
The people thanked the government for this initiative.
This road is part of a bigger plan to build roads in many villages across India.
A 5.8 km road from Padadiha to Banshpatri in Paschim Medinipur district is being renovated under the PMGSY.
The project includes the construction of four new culverts and is expected to cost more than Rs 5 crore.
Residents are happy as the new road will end years of traffic jams and improve transportation, especially for school students.
Zilla Parishad party leader Mohammad Rafiq inspected the progress and expressed hope for its timely completion.
