Raipur - The Central Government has taken a significant decision aimed at strengthening road connectivity in areas affected by Left Wing Extremism. The extension of the Road Connectivity Project for Left Wing Extremism Affected Areas and the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) until March 31, 2027 will provide new impetus to the completion of pending road construction projects in the Bastar division of Chhattisgarh. This decision will further strengthen road connectivity in remote and sensitive areas of the state. Special attention will be given to completing the remaining projects already approved under these schemes within the stipulated timeframe to ensure better connectivity to rural and tribal areas. Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai welcomed this decision of the Central Government, calling it a very important and positive step for Chhattisgarh. He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Central Government is consistently sensitive and committed to the development of Naxal-affected areas and improving the living standards of the people there. Chief Minister Shri Sai said that roads are the cornerstone of any region's development. Road construction facilitates access to education, health, employment, and markets, and accelerates the pace of development. He stated that extending the duration of these projects will expedite the completion of road construction projects in remote and tribal areas of the state, including Bastar. A better road network will not only boost economic activity in rural areas but also strengthen administrative access. This will bring positive changes to people's lives and open up new possibilities for development in Naxal-affected areas of the state.
