Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy advised the officials of the Panchayat Raj and Rural Development (PR&RD) Department to solve water scarcity in villages in the next five years by connecting all tanks to feeder channels through canals. This would be useful, especially in Anantapur and Kadapa districts, he said, calling for an action plan for it.
He also ordered the construction of Rythu Bharosa Kendras, village secretariats, digital libraries and village clinics to be completed at the earliest.
At a review meeting on the functioning of the PR&RD Department on Monday, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said the government faced a lot of difficulties due to the pendency of bills for works executed during the TDP regime but they were cleared by the present dispensation in spite of the constraints keeping in view the priority attached by it to the development of villages.
