Minister for IT and Industries D. Sridhar Babu has said a bridge will be constructed across the Godavari between Manthani and Shivaram at an estimated cost of ₹125 crore to improve connectivity, boost trade and ensure comprehensive development of Manthani town and its surrounding villages.
Untiring efforts will be made to accelerate the development of Manthani Assembly constituency imbued with the vision of former Assembly Speaker of the erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh and former Manthani MLA late D Sripada Rao, the Minister said.
Mr. Sridhar Babu was speaking after garlanding the statue of his father late Sripada Rao on the occasion of the latter’s 87th birth anniversary in Manthani on Saturday.
