The Chhattisgarh government has begun with road construction work in Pudaang village which will connect it with rest of the state for the first time since India’s Independence. The under-construction road in future will help the 2,200 odd Pudaang tribal people to avail government services like education, health, ration and all government schemes.
The village is situated 140 kms away from Balrampur district and many villagers have still not even visited Balrampur district headquarters as they had to travel via Jharkhand to visit places in Chhattisgarh. Even the election team has to reach here by helicopter.
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.
