₹6.25 cr. to bolster rural road network in Rayachoti
Rural roads in Rayachoti Assembly segment in Annamayya district are set to receive a major fillip with a sanctioned budget of ₹6.25 crore.
Minister for Transport, Youth Affairs and Sports Mandipalli Ramprasad Reddy on Sunday (May 4) announced the sanctioning of funds while inspecting the rural roads in and around Rayachoti town. He said the construction of over 27 km of rural roads would soon begin in the constituency.
The fund includes ₹4.16 crore under the 30th tranche of the NABARD Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF) for 2024–25 and ₹2.09 crore from the government.
The Minister directed the Chief Engineer of the Panchayat Raj Department to launch the construction of eleven rural roads in various villages. 'These roads are in a very bad condition. The new initiatives will significantly strengthen rural roads across Rayalaseema,' the Minister said.
The roads identified for immediate development include a 1.5-km stretch from Rayachoti–Madanapalle highway to Reddipalle in Chinnamandem mandal.
A 4.51-km road from RK Road to KG Road via Gopanapalle is set to be constructed in Galiveedu mandal. Works on the 3.5-km road from Madhavaram to Madhya Vandalapalle in Rayachoti mandal would be expedited, Mr. Ramprasad Reddy said.
A 1.91-km road from Masapeta–Katimayakunta Road to Addlu Vandalapalle in the surroundings of Rayachoti would be laid shortly. The plan to construct a 2.87-km road from Shettipalle to Peddabidi via Thimmakkagari Palli in Sambepalle mandal would be launched in a couple of months, the Minister said.
Highlighting the achievements of the NDA government over the past eleven months, the Minister observed that with active funding and cooperation between the State and Centre, rural infrastructure would see revolutionary changes.
Strengthening the rural road network will help farmers and others to better access commercial centres, he said.
