The Union Minister for Rural Development, Mr Jairam Ramesh, on Saturday said the Centre would grant Rs 4,000 crore for two metal road projects in West Bengal.
Under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), the projects include conversion of ‘murram’ to metal road for 5,733 km and fresh road for 4,000 km.
“The State Government will have to provide the detailed project report for the 5,733-km project by October 24, while DPR for the other project for 4,000 km has to be submitted by June 24,” Mr Ramesh told newspersons here.
So far, only 66 per cent of the total 12,000 rural habitations in West Bengal are connected through metal roads, he added.
