The enhanced road infrastructure will also facilitate socio-economic development, improve mobility, and contribute to a better quality of life for the local communities, ensuring safe and durable all-weather connectivity across the region.
MCL's General Manager (CSR) Jyotirmay Sinha and the Collector & District Magistrate, Rayagada Ashutosh Kulkarni (IAS) inked the MoU on Friday.
