5-Year Recap (2021–2026)
AI GeneratedFrom 2021-2026, Orleampeth constituency in Puducherry saw significant infrastructure development under Independent MLA G. Nehru Kuppusamy. Key achievements include the ₹2,426 crore 4-laning of NH 45-A, World Bank-funded water projects worth ₹1,400 crore, and modernization of healthcare facilities like JIPMER's Cancer Centre. The administration launched Smart City initiatives and secured ₹4,750 crore ADB loans for infrastructure.
