Construction work on the Megha Budhal-Mahore-Gool Road in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district is progressing at an accelerated pace under the supervision of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), officials said on 13 July, 2025.

The project involves upgrading the road to National Highway double-lane specifications, connecting the towns of Budhal, Mahore, and Gool. “This is a 114 km long road with four packages. Work is underway on 50 km of the 114 km stretch. We are making efforts to complete the project as soon as possible and as per specifications,” said BRO Commanding Officer Aditya Sharma. The Budhal-Mahore-Gool Road serves as a vital link between the districts of Rajouri, Reasi, and Ramban.

In parallel, the government has fast-tracked the Rajouri-Thannamandi-Bufliaz-Surankote Road project, part of the Megha Project, connecting the Pir Panjal region with the Kashmir Valley via the Mughal Road. Key activities include blacktopping, widening, surface clearance, and protection wall construction.
