While presiding over a meeting to assess the rehabilitation and restoration efforts in Rohru, Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, Chief Minister, announced that an allocation of Rs 10 million would be given to the Public Works Department in order to expedite the efforts aimed at restoring roads in the Rohru assembly segment.

He instructed the officials in attendance to formulate a comprehensive strategy for the purpose of opening all roads within the assembly segment by August 15. He examined the reports detailing the damages that had been inflicted upon the infrastructure of various departments, including public works, jal Shakti, electricity, horticulture, and agriculture. Additionally, he took note of the losses incurred by private property.

Sukhu also revealed that an additional sum of Rs 10.2 million would be provided to facilitate the restoration of damaged roads in the development blocks of Rohru, Chauhara, Jubbal, and Kotkhai. During the meeting, the chief minister underscored the importance of unhindered transportation of apple produce to the markets. He directed the officials to work tirelessly around the clock to ensure that the farmers could transport their produce without any obstacles.

The chief minister emphasised the need to construct temporary roads wherever necessary, stating that all link roads should be fully operational by August 15. He requested a progress report from the PWD and the deputy commissioner.
