This includes blacktopping worth approximately 4.5 crores. Macadamisation work of approximately seventy five lakhs is sanctioned and will be executed on improvement of weather. All works are executed based on necessity and without bias. The problems related to waterlogging will be solved with embankment of main Nallah under AMRUT.
