One can hear sounds of heavy machinery moving here and there from anywhere in the village. The earth movers are pushing the huge rocks and boulders to form the bund wall while few hundred metres away labour are working to fill up the gaps with small rocks as part of building the bund. Hundreds of lorries come one after the another and dump their heavy load of red and black soil and small and medium size rock chips to build the bund for Mallannasagar. The work on Mallannasagar is going on at a fast pace and officials have fixed a target of completing work on the the by May-end and to complete the revetment work by July maximum to ensure that the reservoir is more or less ready by the beginning of rainy season.
