She promised harsh punishment to anyone involved and was spotted digging a larger hole in the area to assist collect the asphalt sample.

She told the journalists that the irrigation department constructed a 7.5-kilometre-long road for Rs 1.16 million. She went on to say that she was called to inaugurate the road, and when she arrived and attempted to crack a coconut, the coconut did not break, and chunks of the road fell off. She went on to say that she had it evaluated and discovered that the construction was flawed. Because the work was not up to par, the inauguration was cancelled.

The leader also met with the District Magistrate, who assembled a three-person committee. She said, "The stuff was submitted for sampling, and we were there for approximately three hours." Assuring everyone, she stated that action would be done against those guilty and face harsh punishment.
