NTR District Collector S. Dilli Rao and Vijayawada Central MLA Malladi Vishnu went on a door-to-door visit in the city, interacting with residents and listening to their grievances as part of the 'Gadapa Gadapaku Mana Prabhutvam' programme on Tuesday.
Several households in the 61st municipal division were covered under the programme. Mr. Rao said that the programme is aimed at interacting with the people to know about the reach of welfare schemes. He said action will be taken against officials concerned if they come across eligible beneficiaries who were unable to avail the benefits of welfare schemes during the programme.
Responding to the complaints of locals over water stagnating in vacant plots, Mr. Rao asked the municipal authorities to serve notices on the owners as per the Public Health Act and ask them to raise the height of the land on their plots to avoid water stagnation. He said action will be taken against those who do not respond to the notices.
