​Sircilla: Complete the construction works of Panchayat Raj buildings by end of February, ordered District Collector D Krishna Bhaskar.

He chaired a review meeting with district panchayat raj officers and engineers at the Collectorate conference hall here on Tuesday.

Addressing the officials, the Collector said that the district panchayat raj officers (DPO) should conduct meetings with sarpanches and complete construction works of about 25 panchayat raj buildings, sanctioned by the government, by February 28.

He said the government had earlier released Rs 10 lakh funds for each building and another Rs 3 lakh would be sanctioned in February.

The government has sanctioned about 43 new Anganwadi buildings in the district and the construction works will be started very soon at a cost of Rs 8 lakhs each, he added.
