Sharoh village of Himachal’s Kullu district will be connected by road after 75 years of independence. About one and a half kilometer away from the Naggar-Manali main road, the people of this village were bereft of the road till now. When the road did not reach the village even in 75 years, the villagers donated their land. Along with this, money was also collected for the construction. On Tuesday, when the JCB arrived to remove the trace of the road, the villagers were in tears.
More than 50 families will be benefited by the construction of this road.
Panchayat will also help
Gram Panchayat Pradhan Naggar Pradeep Thakur said that the villagers have taken a commendable initiative. Today it has been 75 years since our country got independence. But due to lack of road in this village, people are facing problems. They have to spend a huge amount to extract apples and other crops. Now they will not have to bear the financial burden due to the construction of the road.
Villagers were happy to see JCB reaching to trace the road.
He told that the people themselves have arranged money for this. Some have even given their private land for the construction of the road. The Panchayat will also try to arrange funds for the construction of the road as far as possible.
