MUKUTBAN.
Mukutban is a village of 2,211 inhabitants in Wani tahsil
situated 32.19 km (about 20 miles) south of Wani on the road to Hyderabad. It is an important village in the Penganga valley, though about six kilometres away from the river itself and is remarkable for two perennial tanks, the larger of the two irrigating about 100 acres of rice land. Precaution is taken to clean the tanks of silt from time to time. Recently repairs were carried out to the larger tank. The village has a medical dispensary, a high school and a post office. A weekly market is held on Mondays. Potable water is supplied by one of the tanks and wells. Quantities of singhada (Trapa bispinosa or nutans) are grown here. Extensive lime-stone deposits have been traced in the vicinity of Mukutban.
