PROJECT DESCRIPTION & PROGRESS:

Tuting Devikota village, renowned for its shrine and revered as a holy place, draws numerous visitors. However, the challenging terrain and poor transportation infrastructure have hindered access, particularly during the monsoon season when roads become muddy. To address these difficulties and ensure safe passage for pilgrims and visitors, a budget proposal of 89,500 rupees was approved for the financial year 2023-2024. Commencing on 20th July, 2023, the construction of a concrete staircase was undertaken to mitigate the risks associated with the treacherous conditions. The project enlisted the assistance of local laborers, who worked diligently to complete the staircase by 22nd July, 2023. This initiative not only enhances accessibility to the sacred site but also demonstrates the collaborative efforts of the community in overcoming logistical challenges for the benefit of all.
