Nirmal: Forest Minister Indrakaran Reddy said the State government on Saturday sanctioned Rs 23.52 crore to lay black top roads, bridges, internal roads and drainages in remote tribal habitations of the district.

In a statement, Reddy said the State government was committed to develop tribal habitations of the district. The villages that were once deprived of basic amenities were now witnessing unprecedented growth. Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao had converted villages into gram panchayats.
