Telangana Govt to take up repairs on State roads

The State government has reportedly decided to take up repair works on 436 kilometres of State roads. Roads and Buildings officials are working on the modalities to complete the tender process to take up the repairs.

According to officials, usually road repairs are taken up before the the onset of the monsoon, however, since the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) was in force due to the



Lok Sabha polls, the State government could not finalise tenders to take up repairs.

Under the Central Road Infrastructure Fund (CRIF), the Central government has allocated Rs.850 crore to the State in the last financial year. However, due to the assembly elections in the State last year, there was no opportunity to finalize the work even though funds were received from the Centre.
