NALGONDA, APRIL 7. The district in-charge Minister, Kanna Laxminarayana, has asked the officials to take effective measures to prevent migration and drinking water problems in the villages.

Addressing the officials and MLAs at an awareness meeting on the Praja Patham programme at the Zilla Parishad meeting hall here on Thursday, he said there was no shortage of funds to solve the drinking water problem and to provide employment for the rural poor.

The deputy engineers of the rural water supply department were empowered to sanction up to Rs.50,000 for drinking water works, he said requesting the officials to avoid misappropriation of funds.

Maoist issue

The Home Minister, K. Jana Reddy, asked the officials to make Praja Patham a grand success.
