With the Forest Department granting clearance, nine new roads will be laid in the tribal areas of Parvatipuram-Manyam district. These roads will help the 1,277 people living in these remote areas during such situations as a medical emergency.
The routes include Maniga-Antijola, Nadimiguda-Gedalaguda, Dimmidijola-Kothagudem, Donkalaguda-Bhamini border, Regulaguda-Patapeddaguda and Patharangamvalasa-New Rangamvalasa.
The government would spend around ₹17.06 crore under the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Sadak Yojana and other schemes. Parvatipuram-Manyam Collector Nishant Kumar said that 8.55 hectares of forest land would be used for laying the new roads.
