A Member of Parliament (MP), who also happens to be the mother of the Minister responsible for Public Works, has penned a appeal. Addressing her own son, the MP’s letter seeks to emphasize the utmost importance of prioritizing the renovation of the Nerchowk – Rattipul – Kalkhar Road.

Furthermore, Pratibha expressed her intention to meet the Union Minister for Surface and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, to discuss the matter and explore all possible avenues for securing funds from the Central Road Fund. Her proactive approach and determination to address this issue demonstrate her commitment to improving the lives of her constituents.

Importance of the Nerchowk-Rattipul-Kalkhar Road:
The Nerchowk-Rattipul-Kalkhar road serves as a vital lifeline for the people residing in the area, connecting three crucial assembly constituencies: Balh, Sarkaghat, and Mandi Sadar. With a population of over one lakh, this road plays a pivotal role in facilitating the transportation of goods, enabling daily commutes, and connecting people to essential services such as healthcare, education, and employment opportunities.

The Current State of the Road:
Over the years, the Nerchowk-Rattipul-Kalkhar road has deteriorated, necessitating immediate attention and renovation. While the government has made efforts to address bottlenecks and black spots along the route, a complete upgrade is now essential to ensure safe and efficient travel for the local populace. Recognizing the pressing need for action, Pratibha raised the issue during a recent meeting of the Direction Committee of Parliamentary Constituency Mandi.
