On the outskirts of Etigaddakishtapur village, in Toguta mandal, a tall board fixed to iron poles cautions visitors to keep away. “This is not a pathway. Reservoir works are on. Heavy vehicles are moving. Movement by others is prohibited,” read the letters in red, blue and green colours on the board.
True to the warning on the board, heavy trucks were moving with huge loads in top gear in the area.
