Since the road is intersecting with irrigation canals at 12 places, the Minister has suggested the revenue, engineering and irrigation department officials work closely to lay the road at these intersections.

As the road was also touching the drinking water pipelines, Rao has asked them to lay the new pipelines before removing the old ones to avoid any interruption in the water supply.

Saying that the road stretch between Cheryial and Duddeda was totally damaged, Rao instructed officials to take up temporary work on this stretch.

Collector Prasanth Jeevan Patil, NHAI Deputy Engineer Mohan and others were present.
