The approval follows sustained efforts and recommendations by Sanjib Sardar, Member of the Legislative Assembly from Potka.
The road links Tatanagar Railway Station to Baroda Ghat via the Jamshedpur–Hata road and passes through the densely populated Bagbera Colony. It serves as a key traffic corridor for office-goers, students and local residents, making it one of the most critical connectivity routes in the region.
At present, the road is in a severely dilapidated condition, resulting in frequent traffic disruptions, safety concerns and inconvenience for commuters. The proposed upgradation is expected to significantly improve riding quality, ensuring smoother, safer and faster movement along the stretch.
Sources said Sardar had consistently pursued the matter with the concerned departments and had also met Hemant Soren to seek early clearance. The project received approval at the chief ministerial level, following which formal administrative sanction was issued.
Commenting on the development, Sardar said strengthening infrastructure in Potka and neighbouring areas remains his priority. Describing the road as a lifeline for the local population, he directed officials to ensure quality execution and timely completion of the project.
He added that under the leadership of Chief Minister Hemant Soren, the Jharkhand government is taking concrete steps to address long-pending infrastructure needs, reinforcing its commitment to development and public welfare.
