Mantu said, “First I approached civil society activists and procured stone dust. It was given all free.”

Then arose the question of the transportation of the stone specks of dust to the potholes.

Mantu Kumar Singh said, “I arranged around 30 litres of diesel and gave it to a JCB operator who transported the stone dust from the nearby stone quarry to the potholes. Thus this road was repaired. Its potholes are now mended.”
