Are there no officials in Eluru, the headquarters of West Godavari district to take care of the rivulet? What are municipal and irrigation staff doing,” he questioned.Terming the situation of the rivulet as worse, he expressed his doubts over sanitation and upkeep in towns and villages.If this is the situation in headquarters, I can image the plight in towns and villages. The rivulet is main source for the upland cultivation,” he remarked.
He directed the officials to initiate steps to clean the rivulet on war-footing. He pointed that inundation in the city was due to lack of free flow of water. Assuring the officials that he would release necessary funds, he instructed them to develop the rivulet as an irrigation main canal not as a drain.
The Chief Minister wanted the corporators to supervise sanitation in their divisions. He said that he would monitor the works in the city, frequently and would employ drones.District Collector K Bhaskar informed that they have initiated works worth Rs 18 crore and said that works would be completed by end of December.
