    However, infrastructures such as electricity and roads in addition agriculture are a stumbling block to the development of the district.

    It was agreed that 13 roads should be constructed and 20 roads to be renovated, so that residents get access to the markets and sell their produce.

    On the issue of electricity, they plan to raise the number of people with electricity from 5-6 percent to 70 percent in the year 2018.

    On agriculture, lands will be consolidated and productivity will be increased through the use of composite and factory made manure, so that 30.8 percent of residents are uplifted from under the poverty line.

    In addition, four modern markets will be built and health centres will be renovated for better services.
