Speaking to The Hans India, she said priority was being given to roads, drainage, drinking water and sanitation.

Development works worth around Rs 20 crore are being taken up in various wards using UST funds, with CC roads receiving special attention. A total of Rs 7 crore box drain is also under construction to provide a permanent solution to the town’s recurring urban flooding problem.
