JASROTA: In a significant push towards strengthening rural infrastructure and connectivity, BJP MLA Jasrota, Rajiv Jasrotia, today inaugurated multiple development works and dedicated a major road project to the public, while expressing heartfelt gratitude to Union Minister Dr Jatinder Singh for his consistent support, guidance, and visionary leadership in addressing the genuine demands of the people.
The inaugurated works include the construction of a 46.8-metre LSB/vented causeway at RD 300 Km 4th on road T01 Km 9th to Bakhta via Mangloor, a 27-metre LSB/vented causeway at RD 575 Km 5th on road T01 Km 7th to Bakhta via Mangloor, and a 33.60-metre LSB/vented causeway at RD 275 Km 6th on road T01 Km 7th Bakhta via Mangloor. These projects, executed along with blacktopping, have been completed at a total cost of Rs 528.48 lakh.On the occasion, the MLA also dedicated the PMGSY road from Bakhta to Mangloor, making total cost of project at Rs 29 crore, marking a major milestone in enhancing road connectivity in the region.
Addressing the gathering, Jasrotia emphasized that these projects will significantly ease transportation, ensure all-weather connectivity, and improve access to essential services such as healthcare, education, and markets for the residents of remote and rural areas. He noted that better road infrastructure will also boost local economic activities, benefiting farmers, traders, and small businesses.
Elaborating on the broader impact, the MLA stated that the newly constructed causeways will play a crucial role in ensuring uninterrupted connectivity during rainy seasons, when earlier the villages would often face isolation due to overflowing nallahs. With the construction of vented causeways, the risk of disruption has been minimized, ensuring safer and smoother movement of people, goods, and emergency services throughout the year.
He further highlighted that improved road connectivity will open new avenues for agricultural growth, enabling farmers to transport their produce to markets more efficiently and at reduced costs, thereby increasing their income potential. The better road network is also expected to encourage small-scale industries, enhance tourism prospects in nearby areas, and generate employment opportunities for local youth.
Jasrotia added that the strengthened connectivity will have a direct social impact as well, ensuring quicker access to hospitals, schools, and government services. Students will benefit from safer and more reliable transportation, while patients requiring urgent medical attention will be able to reach healthcare facilities without delay.
Highlighting the role of Dr Jatinder Singh, the MLA said that the Union Minister has always remained at the forefront in extending every possible help whenever genuine issues are brought to his notice. “Dr Jatinder Singh’s commitment, accessibility, and clear vision for holistic development have been instrumental in fast-tracking such projects in our constituency,” he said.
He further added that under the dynamic leadership of the Union Minister, the Jasrota constituency has witnessed unprecedented development, with a focused approach on infrastructure, connectivity, and public welfare. The MLA remarked that the timely sanctioning and execution of these works reflect the Minister’s dedication to grassroots development and his keen understanding of the needs of the people.
Locals present on the occasion appreciated the government’s efforts, stating that the newly constructed causeways and roads will reduce travel time, enhance safety during monsoon seasons, and provide a reliable transport network for the region, ultimately improving their overall quality of life.
