Interacting with people after the commencement of black topping of the Nandani-Sardarechak link road in Marh constituency, the minister said the need for better roads, drinking water, irrigation and civic amenities has gained impetus over the years. The minister asked the executing agency to ensure quality work and complete the projects within the stipulated time frame.
