Infrastructure
Mattaur has a fairly good sewage system, and it does not display water or electricity problems, but the village needs to improve its infrastructure. Garbage dumps are not well maintained. Roads are not well maintained. The town does not have a reliable supply of potable water.
The village has one government school for its residents, which has three rooms. Teachers hold classes outside, as there is no space in the school. Many town residents send their children to private schools.
“Our long-pending demand to raise the boundary wall remains to be seen to date. We have been going the whole hog to convince the PUDA authorities to erect the wall but to no avail. Scores of our meetings with PUDA bigwigs have yielded no tangible outcome. We feel cheated,” says Mr Amrik Singh, a former sarpanch. The village has a public park.
Today Mattaur is most developed village. Its location is very much uttmost. Mattaur has got beautiful buildings and park. Ivy hospital, Saint Xavier school, police station are just at its doorstep.
