Several schools have also been built here. Due to the narrow road, people had to face considerable difficulties in commuting. Heavy vehicles could not come this way. With the construction of this road for approximately two kilometres at a cost of around Rs 70 crore, several problems have been resolved. This has made commuting easier for people, while the problem of waterlogging has also been eliminated." He also added, this road is an excellent route for making transportation easier.
