GUNTUR: The Communist Party of India Guntur district unit is conducting a survey on several aspects of district development to prepare a comprehensive status report before March 1.

The party district unit secretary Muppalla Nageswara Rao told reporters here on Friday that it proposed to begin a massive campaign in two phases in 225 villages from March 1 on the need for people's participation in the development. "The party leaders and workers will appeal to the people to be ready to agitate for their right and help in the process of comprehensive development of the district," he added.

First phase

In the first phase it proposes to take up the process in 100 villages, where it would mainly focus on the lapses in the implementation of `Indiramma' programme that aims at developing model villages.

During the second phase of the three-month programme initiated by the CPI, it would take up visiting 125 villages to enlist the views of the people on some specific issues of public importance so that constructive suggestions could be given to the Government through the district administration, said the party leader Jangala Ajay Kumar.

The slums were remaining as slums and the developed areas were getting all the more posh, if proper priority was accorded in the development process to underdeveloped areas, slums also could be transformed into good colonies, he added. "For all this to happen people's active participation was most essential," he observed.
