Under the projects, total 172.53 km of roads will be taken up with a cost of Rs 158 crore. These roads will improve rural connectivity in the interior blocks of Chitrakonda, Kalimela, Korukunda and Podia.

The 32-km road from Muduliguda to Amalibeda in Chitrakonda will be constructed at a cost of Rs 30 crore, while Pollur to Kursanpalli road of 11.6 km will be constructed at a cost of Rs 9 crore.
