Chittoor: District Collector Siddharth Jain has expressed his displeasure on officials concerned for showing laxity in attending the Handri-Neeva Sujala Sravanthi canal works despite completing the land acquisition. He directed the officials of the Irrigation and Engineering department to have a positive approach in completing the stupendous task.
