Engineering and social infrastructure in the most monotowns are in a sad condition. Akimats failed to take necessary measures to reduce its deterioration. It is crucial to focus on providing essential services and amenities such as construction and repair of infrastructure, housing, and availability of educational and medical services, the Prime Minister said.
