Mahabubabad: “Prepare a perfect action plan for distributing Bathukamma saris to women, aged above 18 years and have a ration card,” District Collector Dr Preethi Meena ordered the officials of concerned department.
She chaired a review meeting with the officials of various departments to discuss several issues like distribution of Bathukamma saris, Telanganaku Haritha Haram, Open Defecation Free, here at the Collectorate conference hall on Tuesday. The Collector told the officials to prepare a route map for distributing the saris to about 2,69,513 women, who were selected through 533 ration shops present across the district.
The Bathukamma saris will be kept ready for distribution in the godowns of Mahabubabad and Thorrur agricultural markets by September 15 and should be distributed according to the ration shops in village panchayats and municipal wards, she said.
The teams, with tahsildar as the nodal officer and VRO, VRA, panchayat secretary, IKP women and NREGS staff as the members, saris should be distributed on September 18 and 19 without giving scope for irregularities along with giving wide publicity beforehand in villages and in municipal wards.
The Collector expressed ire on the officials for completing only 56 per cent of plantation works under Haritha Haram and for keeping the district at 20th position in the State.
Dr Preethi Meena ordered the officials to complete 75 per cent of plantation works by the end of next week under the third phase and must take measures to protect the planted saplings by appointing Haritha Dalams and geo-tagging. The officials of Dornakal, Gudur, Narasimhulapet, Nellikuduru and Thorrur were told to take special care and to speed up plantation works.
The Collector expressed anger on the officials after reviewing the works of Open Defecation Free that are going at a snail’s pace in the district and ordered the officials to speed up the works to complete them as early as possible. Joint Collector Damodar Reddy, District Revenue Officer Ram Babu, District Forest Officer Krishna Goud, District and Rural Development Officer Ganesh, Rural Development Officer Bhaskar Rao and mandal officers, MPDOS and Tahsildars were present along with others.
