Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has said that a new fillip has been given to development works in the State and that the government has sanctioned ₹2,205 crore for construction and maintenance of roads in a year, a record of sorts in the history of the State.
While reviewing the progress of works of the Roads and Buildings Department at the camp office on Monday, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said that the negligence of the previous government in the maintenance of roads and the prolonged spells of heavy rain in the past two years were responsible for the present condition of the roads across the State.
“A malicious propaganda is being made that all the roads have been damaged in the present government’s term,’’ said Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy.
