Arunachal to develop roads under CM Comprehensive Plan

Arunachal Pradesh government will develop all roads under the Public Works Department (PWD) in the state, officials said on Tuesday.

All roads under the PWD would be developed under a five-year plan - Chief Minister Comprehensive State Road Plan 2019-24 -, the officials said.

Under the plan important inter-state and inter- district roads would be developed to the specification of state highways.

"All the arterial roads in district headquarters, ADC headquarters will be connected by major district road category and majority of the ADC and CO headquarters will be connected by all-weather other district road category by the year 2024," they said.

In the rural communication sector, so far Arunachal Pradesh has covered 1,099 habitations with a road length of 7,942 km under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) scheme and plan to cover 204 unconnected habitations having a length of 3,500 km this year, the officials said.

"The government will provide support for the repair and maintenance of already completed roads under such programme," they added.
