Jajpur,10/11(PPT ): Strengthening rural infrastructure, improving road connectivity and addressing people’s basic needs remain important aspects of development in the Badachana Assembly constituency, said MLA Amar Kumar Nayak while inaugurating and laying foundation stones for several development projects in Shalapada Panchayat of Jajpur district. The initiatives are aimed at improving transportation facilities and addressing long-standing connectivity problems faced by residents of the area. As part of the programme, the MLA laid the foundation stone for the improvement of the road from R&D Road to Tilapada via Jiagoda. He also inaugurated the renovation of the Kuanria Nala and the construction work of a bridge over the canal. These projects are expected to improve connectivity between villages and make daily travel more convenient for local residents, including students, farmers, patients and commuters. The improvement of rural roads and bridges is considered essential for strengthening access to education, healthcare, agricultural activities and other public services. The MLA said that resolving transportation-related problems in the constituency would remain a priority and that necessary steps would be taken to address the difficulties faced by people.
Speaking on the occasion, Amar Kumar Nayak said, “The trust, affection and support of the people of Badachana have given me the opportunity to serve them as their elected representative. Providing people with the necessary facilities and working for the overall development of the constituency are my duties and responsibilities.” He said development should reach every village and every section of society, ensuring that no area remains deprived of basic infrastructure and essential services. Emphasising the importance of public welfare, he said efforts would continue to improve roads, bridges, drainage systems and other infrastructure across Badachana. He further stated that the problems faced by people in transportation and connectivity would be addressed through necessary development initiatives. “Being an MLA is not merely holding a public office; it is a responsibility towards the people who have placed their faith in me. I will continue to work with commitment to fulfil their expectations and ensure the overall development of Badachana,” he said. The development programme in Shalapada Panchayat marks another initiative towards strengthening rural infrastructure and improving public convenience in the constituency.
