Potka: Potka MLA Menka Sardar laid the foundation of a pond renovation project in Harina village of Potka on Sunday. A large number of villagers including women and BJP leaders were present on the occasion. The project would be completed at a cost of Rs 22 lakh under the Barren Land Development Scheme of the land conservation department.
Addressing the people, the legislator said the pond would greatly benefit local farmers as it would provide water to hundreds of acres of land once it is renovated.
