As many as 49 bridges were constructed across streams, while several roads were laid spending Rs.350 crore. The road and bridge facility freed many habitations from isolation. A total of 4,883 tribals were given titles of lands to the extent of 16,000 acres belonging to the forest department.

They were now being extended the Rythu Bheema scheme too, he said.
