BANIHAL, Dec 13: Senior NC leader and MLA Banihal, Sajjad Shaheen here today laid the foundation stone for two major road projects, Seeran to Lablutha Road and Bawa to Buzla Road in Khari Block.
These projects are sanctioned under PMGSY-IV at a cumulative cost of Rs 35.24 crore.
Completion of these roads will significantly improve access to healthcare, education, markets and other essential services.
Speaking on the occasion, Shaheen said that initiation of these projects marks a critical milestone in addressing the genuine difficulties faced by the people of the area.
He recalled that in the absence of proper roads, patients were often carried on shoulders, students were forced to traverse unsafe routes to reach schools and essential supplies frequently faced delays.
Reiterating his commitment to the people, the MLA said that providing road connectivity to every deserving habitation was a core promise he made during his election campaign and he expressed satisfaction at fulfilling that commitment.
Shaheen expressed gratitude to CM Omar Abdullah for continued support and leadership under which Banihal-Gool Constituency is witnessing accelerated developments across sectors.
The programme was attended by DDC Chairperson, Dr. Shamshada Shan, DDC Khari, Fayaz Naik, Bashir Ahmed Naik, Ghulam Hasan Naik, block president, Mohd Ashraf Naik, Khurshid Ahmed Sahmat, Mohd Anwar Naik, Molvi Attaullah Naik and others.
