Himachal CM Jai Ram Thakur thanks Rajnath Singh for five bridges

Shimla, December 28

Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday dedicated 27 strategically important projects in four states and two union territories to people, of which five bridges have been built in the state.

CM Jai Ram Thakur participated in the programme virtually from Shimla and expressed gratitude towards Rajnath and the Centre for dedicating the projects constructed by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO).

He said the five bridges were Kothi-1 bridge, Kothi-II bridge, Commander bridge, Patsio bridge on Manali-Sarchu road and Kashang bridge on Powari-Pooh road.

“The country had become stronger than ever under PM Narendra Modi’s leadership and today, our borders are more secure. The connectivity to the border areas has increased and infrastructure is also being strengthened,” the CM added.

Thakur further said these bridges on the alternative route to Leh would prove to be of great help to soldiers. “It will also strengthen the socio-economic relations between the people of Keylong and Leh-Ladakh.” — TNS
