Addressing Zilla Parishad general body meeting, chaired by its chairperson Anam Arunamma, on Wednesday, he said the government is keen on releasing funds for the completion of pending works like road repairs, construction of Secretariat buildings, health centres and school infrastructure projects.

Kovur MLA Vemireddy Prashanthi Reddy pointed out that many government schools in Kovur constituency lack adequate dining facilities, causing inconvenience to students. Stating that development works like construction of CC roads, side drains, cremation grounds etc in SC and ST colonies in the constituency were pending for the past two years, she requested allocation of ZP funds to complete them.

Chairperson Anam Arunamma directed officials of all departments to take immediate steps to address the issues raised by members, with special focus on road infrastructure.
