Whatever pending issues are there, they will be resolved soon by coordinating with Minister Banna Gupta because he himself is very serious about this matter. Now Jugsalai is being given a big gift by completing the work in a smooth manner. The previous government displaced people in a hurry in the name of ROB, now we are rehabilitating them,” said Kalindi.
