It is not new that often bridges, roads and other government schemes remain only on paper. As an addition to this trend an incident where the officials had tendered a new bill for the construction of Sadalu-Gulaganjighatta Road, which had already been constructed under contractor Devraj of Sasal at an estimated cost of Rs 50,000. The Zilla Panchayat officials had only given him half the amount, keeping the other half as balance. The officials in a clever plan had tendered another bill of Rs 25,000 for the same road, but thier plan was foiled by ZP member Venkatesh who was on a area tour and found out of this descripancy. He has urged the persons concerned to take strict action on the erring officials.
