Deputy Chief Minister, Surinder Choudhary today said that the restoration works on Chenab river bank in Pargwal area will be handed over to BRO  as the area falls in border periphery  and mechanism  for the same would be explored soon.

The Deputy CM said this in response to issue raised by MLA Akhnoor, Mohan Lal Bhagat regarding restoration of flood-damaged infrastructure in Akhnoor constituency and  comprehensive flood mitigation plan for upcoming winter season to protect vulnerable areas, during Zero Hour of Legislative Assembly today.
