The details of the roads for which foundation stones were laid are (i) Upgradation of rural road from Alphonous House to Graveyard at Vijaygarh via Easter Toppo House, covering a length of 2.60 km under Sunderghar Gram Panchayat (ii) Upgradation of rural road from ATR to Jarwa Tikri at Kadamtala, covering a length of 1.279 km (iii) Upgradation of rural road from ATR to Uttara Bada Gol area, covering a length of 1.740 km (iv) Upgradation of rural road from ATR to Uttara Corner, covering a length of 2.080 km.
The contractors have committed to completing the works within the stipulated timelines, as assured during the foundation-laying ceremonies in the presence of local residents.
