In the meeting, the Infra 1 Division submitted that consultants have been engaged to prepare detailed project reports (DPR) on the work pertaining to the upgradation of the master road from IFFCO Chowk to Mahavir Chowk.

Approving the team’s proposal, CEO Meena directed the team members to expedite the process to allot the tender and take proactive measures to ensure that adequate flood preparedness initiatives are taken timely.
