TRANDA ROAD:
A motorable road, construction work on which was started 25 years ago by the PWD Department in Himachal Pradesh, still remains a far cry at Tranda village in Kinnaur. The road was brought under the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Sadak Yojna(also known:PMGSY is a nationwide plan in India to provide good all-weather road connectivity to unconnected villages. It is under the authority of the Ministry of Rural Development and was begun on 25 December 2000) in the year 2006 and was due for competition in May 2007. The villagers, especially school children and old people, are the worst sufferers who have to trudge 4- km up and down steep hills to reach the main road.
