Roads, are considered very important means of transportation in our country. Roads have connected different cities. So that goods produced and manufactured in the country may be sent inside and outside markets as quickly as possible, and in the same way the imported goods may be sent to the inside areas of the country in the shortest possible time. But roads do not connect all parts of our country and many villages and mountainous areas are deprived of this facility and transportation is hazardous and KUCHHA ROADS are difficult to perform work.
