Under the 15th Central Finance Commission's scheme, 14 tar roads will be upgraded, including solid waste management initiatives, cement concrete road constructions, and stormwater drain constructions, spanning wards 1 to 30. These projects, funded through Municipal Revenue and Capital Funds, also include water supply enhancements and drainage improvements across all wards, totaling an investment of INR 4.7 crores for 56 works.

The event was well attended by ward councilors, municipal officials, and members of the public, who were also treated to sweets, celebrating the start of these vital development projects.
