Accordingly, the works of the bridge were commenced in 2020. Despite challenges caused by the lockdown, they were completed in a short span of time, fulfilling the long cherished dream of the villagers. With the advent of the bridge, the dwellers in particular students can easily have access to the outer world during monsoon and rush their family members to hospitals in case of medical emergency.

Speaking on the occasion, Indrakaran Reddy opined that Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao was giving paramount importance to the agriculture sector. He cited Rythu Bandhu, Rythu Bheema and provision of uninterrupted supply of power to the sector. He stated that funds relating to the crop input support scheme would be credited to the accounts of farmers from June 15.

The minister further said that Nirmal district would flourish in the agriculture sector once the under-construction package number 27 of Kaleshwaram project becomes a reality. He later inaugurated a Rythu Vedika building at Vadyal village in Laxmanachanda mandal.
