Addressing the people’s representatives and officials at a meeting organised to review the progress of various works in the Pulivendula constituency, which he represents in the Legislative Assembly, on December 24 (Sunday), Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said the government accorded top priority to reach out to the beneficiaries through the village secretariat system, with enhanced transparency and accountability.
