The Uttarakhand Chief Secretary, Radha Raturi, has approved a proposal to construct a 8.2 km long canal-covering project in Nainital district. The project will significantly widen the road from Panchakki Square to Kamaluwaganja in Kaladhungi town.
According to an official press release, the canal-covering and strengthening project will benefit residents of Chauphala, Kathgharia, Kamaluwaganja, Ghuni, Bhagwanpur, and Ramni. The widened road will improve connectivity and reduce traffic congestion in the area.
The Chief Secretary instructed the concerned departments to complete the project within a year while maintaining high construction quality. The total cost of the project is estimated to be Rs 1245.64 lakh.

To ensure environmental sustainability, the Chief Secretary emphasized the importance of ground water recharge and plantation during construction. The canal-covering project will transform the road into a two-lane bypass, providing an alternative route for travelers going from Nainital to Delhi or Dehradun via Bajpur, Ramnagar, or Corbett National Park.
