Most of the approach roads to Jamdani Village are in poor condition. Although this situation prevailed for a long time, the concerned authorities did not take any measures to solve the issue.[6] It is alleged that weavers working in village looms are paid less than their due wages.[3] Besides, some unscrupulous groups have set up commercial establishments in exchange of looms by allotting plots in this village in exchange of bribes.
