“The link road of 1.5 kms from Hero Honda Showroom to Training College, costing Rs 3 crore, will be taken up immediately and will be completed by May 31. Once the link road is ready, traffic congestion on the highway will be reduced considerably,” said Parrikar.
“The ground at Socorro having multipurpose hall and swimming pool will be developed by spending Rs 27 crore and the work will start from April 11.
