The initiative was launched under the auspices of the Jana Sena Party and similar projects are planned in Devanakonda, Kothapeta, Kunkunuru and Ternakal villages. Ternakal Venkappa, in-charge for the Alur Assembly constituency, said CC road works worth Rs 0.38 mn are being initiated across the constituency and that discussions are underway with state and district officials to secure further funds. He indicated sustained efforts to strengthen basic infrastructure and accelerate development in the area.
