The government has already released Rs 10 crore for the sports and cultural complex of Balugoduvi, and development works worth more than Rs 6 crore have been carried out in Balugoduvi. 30 Kodava communities have been given Rs 10 lakh each for development works. A community hall is being constructed in Bhagamandala, but it has been stopped due to technical reasons. The stopped work will be started, he said.
