27 Nov 2025 CW Team

Potka MLA Sanjib Sardar on Friday laid the foundation stone for a 1.65-kilometre road from Kendmudi Chowk to Veersinghdih via Kendmudi under the Gangadih Panchayat. The project, sanctioned under the Chief Minister’s Gram Sadak Yojna, has been approved at a cost of Rs 16.7 million. Alongside the road work, the MLA also inaugurated nine development projects worth about Rs 3.9 million from the MLA fund. Villagers welcomed him warmly with traditional rituals.

Sardar said rural development in Potka had accelerated significantly under Chief Minister Hemant Soren, with village transformation gaining strong momentum. He added that projects were being prioritised based on local needs, including bathing ghats in ponds, paver-block roads and concrete irrigation drains. These works, he said, would serve as milestones in Potka’s holistic rural progress.

He further alleged that Jharkhand lagged behind during 19 years of BJP rule, while the present government was ensuring development reached every village. Urging villagers to make full use of government schemes, he expressed confidence that Jharkhand was on course to join the ranks of prosperous states.

Hundreds of villagers, including former councillor Chandravati Mahato, Hiramani Murmu, activist Sunil Mahato, Mukhiya Kartik Murmu, Deputy Mukhiya Kushnu Murmu and Panchayat Samiti member Dukhu Mardi, attended the event.

Projects launched included bathing ghats in Balidih, Hakai and Mukundpur; paver-block roads in Chhota Bandua, Neemdih, Khairpal, Mudsai and Haldipokhar West Panchayat; and irrigation drains in Jamdih and Datobeda.
