“Many developmental works were sanctioned by me. Railway underpass, foot over bridges, roads, schools, hospitals, water and sewer lines, sports academy, CGHS dispensaries, community centers, parks and many more have been built and developed. This has reached to people from all walks of life. I am confident that will give me another chance to serve them,” Agarwal said.
