"The collaborative efforts of Centre and the state government have really made a remarkable progress in socio-economic emancipation of people of the state especially those living in rural and far off pockets," he said.

The deputy chief minister said this while addressing a large public gathering at Bardoh in Khour after inaugurating 175 mt steel foot suspension bridge over river Manawar Tawi at Jogwah, constructed at a cost of Rs 3.42 crore.

He called upon the people to come forward and supplement government efforts to ensure equitable development of every part of the state.

Chand exhorted upon the officers to ensure that the benefit of various development and welfare schemes reach to the deserving beneficiaries in time.

He also emphasised on regular monitoring of the development works, besides redressing grievances of the people.
