Village on Chhattisgarh’s northern tip to get first road after India’s Independence

A government official said, “People here had to face major inconvenience in case of a medical emergency, due to the poor road connectivity of the village. The road will benefit children of the village to get access to colleges.

The Pudang village is surrounded by forests and valleys and its remote location is a challenging task for road construction.

Once a maoist infested region, the village has seen no maoist avtivities for last four years and development work is gradually picking up with four police camps in place to check on Maoist activities.

Without a road villagers travelled to another village Bhutahi to get ration. But after the construction of the road, the district administration will start delivering ration to this village.

Also, farmers of this place have to go to Samari paddy procurement center to sell paddy, but now the proposal to open paddy procurement center here has been sent. The village which had only solar lights will soon get electric poles.

Most of the villagers who are farmers and cattle herders will soon get a Gothan here which is expected to boost the economic activities in the village. Cow dung and Gaumutra (cow urine) procurement would further improve the financial condition of the villagers.
