    A forsighted town planning is needed to product this grwoing town population.More trains are expected to touch this town,e being conversion of broad guage railway line.Railway station needs a development. like that the central bus stand needs a facelift in haldling buses.waste disposal is a grwoing menance now a days ,needs a intelligent palnning .Now the population has crossed over three lakhs. more schools are also coming up in the sorroundings. A peaceful sorruound is already there for children , but there is no good place for children to spend in the evening is avilable.All these will happen in future for the yound genaration .some one has to start some where . Who is that? please think
