Pharka said the state government was building good roads to give connectivity to difficult rural areas of the state. He directed the finance department to release state share as per the new funding pattern. As per the revised funding pattern for Himalayan states, the ratio of 90:10 between Centre and the state is being followed. "Himachal Pradesh will have to contribute 10% of the total sanction," he said.

He said the UMRD has taken a decision to complete the connectivity mandate of balance eligible habitations under PMGSY by March 2019 against the earlier target year of 2022.
