The Tamil Nadu government has recently accorded administrative nod and financial sanction of ₹781 crore to improve 285 rural roads and 141 bridges under the “National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) - Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF) XXIX” for 2023-24.
Of these projects, proposals for 35 bridges and 13 roads were demands made through petitions received under the Ungal Thoguthiyil Muthalamaichar scheme. A government order to this effect was issued earlier this month.
