Andhra Pradesh
By Our Staff Reporter
In the morning, the Union Minister laid the foundation stone for construction of a police station in Kodimyal mandal along with the Collector, Sumita Dawra, the Superintendent of Police, R.S. Praveen Kumar, the AP Khadi and Village Development Board Chairman, L. Ramana. The Kodimyal police station, which was housed in a private building located in the interior region, was shifted to Mallial after naxalites had attacked the Karkegudem police station in Khammam district in 1997. However, inspired by the campaign of `Maa vooriki randi' (come to our villages), villagers of the mandal demanded that the police station should function from the village in 2002. Since then, the police station has been functioning in a private building and on Wednesday foundation stone was laid for construction of permanent building in the village. Later, Mr. Vidyasagar Rao proceeded to the interior Bheerpur village of Sarangapur mandal which is the native village of Laxman Rao and inaugurated the central protected drinking water supply scheme. He also interacted with villagers and enquired about their problems. When the villagers bought to his notice about the non-availability of white ration cards, he urged the authorities to examine distribution of Annapurna Antyodaya Yojna cards among the poor. He further ventured into the interior village of Thalla Dharmaram village travelling on the kucha road crossing several culverts and small rivulets, which is thickly covered with dense forests, to lay the foundation stone for construction of Aragondala minor irrigation project. The project was designed at a cost of Rs. 84 lakhs to provide irrigation facilities to 1300 acres in the region. The tribal dominated villagers accorded a warm welcome to the Union Minister. It was really a dream come true to the tribals to see a politician visiting their interior village for participating in the developmental work. The Jagital sub-divisional police made elaborate bandobust arrangements for smooth passage of the Minister's convoy in the dense forests by deploying additional forces.
