In the run up to the Kedarnath Vidhan Sabha bypoll slated to be held later this year, chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has announced more development works for the region. Dhami approved the budget for development and asphaltisation of the 8.5 kilometre Guptkashi-Jakhdar-Thudi motor road in the Ukhimath block under the Kedarnath Assembly constituency in Rudraprayag district. The CM has approved a sum of Rs 4.71 crore for this work. In addition to this, the CM also approved a sum of Rs 3.68 crore for development and asphaltisation of the 4.5 kilometre stretch of the motor road from Gadhi to Dhartoliya in Agastyamuni block of the constituency. It will be recalled that before this, the CM had announced work on the Kandai Jagtoli motor road in the Talla Nagpur valley. The work on this road has been started.
Since the demise of the Kedarnath MLA Shaila Rani Rawat earlier this year, chief minister Dhami had assured the people of the constituency that he will work as their MLA till the next MLA is elected. Acting on his promise, the CM has so far either announced or initiated works in the Kedar valley, Talla Nagpur, Kalimath valley and Madhyamaheshwar valley.
