Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna (Prime Minister’s Rural Road Scheme). After this affidavit was filed, but the complaint was not redressed, it appears that on 27^th August, 2019, the Rural Development Department of the Government of Maharashtra issued the subject Government Resolution. That is dated 27^th August, 2019. Now, the distance would be computed in terms of the details set out in this Government Resolution. Therefore, the complaint of the petitioners is no longer surviving. Based on this Government Resolution and the decision incorporated therein, the road would be constructed, developed and laid. The administrative and budgetary approval is also issued.
