The Road Division Office in Bharatpur has intensified repairs and maintenance on national highways and rural roads ahead of the upcoming festivals, when vehicle movement is expected to increase. The work is aimed at easing travel on road sections damaged by floods, landslides and rainfall, Information Officer Krishna Prasad Acharya said.
Repairs stepped up before seasonal travel increase
The office has accelerated maintenance in preparation for the festival period, when more vehicles are expected on the roads. Acharya said the work had been sped up to facilitate smoother and safer travel.
The repair drive covers both national highways and rural roads under the office’s responsibility. Damage caused by floods, landslides and rainfall had affected several road sections, prompting the division to increase the pace of its work ahead of the expected rise in movement.
Focus on safer journeys
The condition of the affected sections has made repair and maintenance a priority as people prepare to travel during the festivals. The division’s effort is intended to make journeys easier and safer by addressing damage before traffic increases.
Acharya’s remarks underscore the office’s focus on improving road conditions in advance of the busy period. However, no specific road sections, repair costs or completion deadlines were provided in the available information.
Work covers highways and rural roads
By including national highways as well as rural roads, the Bharatpur office’s programme addresses more than one category of route. The division has moved to speed up work in response to damage linked to adverse weather and the prospect of heavier vehicle movement during the upcoming festivals.
The office’s immediate priority is to carry out repairs and maintenance so that damaged stretches are easier and safer to use. The pace of the work has been increased ahead of the festival travel period, according to Acharya.
