In a meeting, officials told the minister that construction of about 2,416.12 km of roads would be done using Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) technology for uniform crushing and pulverizing raw materials to get a stable base for the road development.

Singh said that under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), migrant workers are getting employment. He appreciated the work of selection and training of women workers under MGNREGA. The project work is highly commendable, and it would contribute towards women empowerment, Singh said.

The women workers from every section of the district would be able to work and can financially help their families, he said.

Additionally, the commissioner of MGNREGA, Yogesh Kumar, said that 19,087 women workers were selected for the project and training of these women is being conducted.
