Additionally, 3,100 meters of internal village roads have been paved with asphalt. Preparatory work for the repair and restoration of preschool and general education facilities is underway, and major renovations are ongoing at an ambulatory medical center and a market building. A modern 1-hectare recreation park has been established to enhance residents’ leisure and relaxation opportunities.
