According to the Engineer at the Directorate Surya Shahi, the road construction task is being carried out under the State Capital Urban Road, People Road Package.
Construction of the projects, which was obstructed due to coronavirus pandemic, is underway from June after the state government gave away ‘special passes’ to the projects.
