  • Bogus ration cards, Aasara pensions will be weeded out

The Collectors should make use of the funds to allocate Rs 12,000 for construction of a toilet in every house and Rs 65,000 towards community toilets and to take immediate steps to provide better roads, he said adding that rural banks which were shifted to towns should be brought back. He directed the Collectors to weed out fake ration cards and pensions as Aasara scheme and food security cards are aimed at helping the deserving poor.

Since the population in towns will be reaching 50 per cent soon from current 41 per cent, steps should be taken to cater the future needs of urban areas. He also asked them to set up Rytu Bazaars, parks, market yards, burial grounds, dumping yards and other amenities. Taking a dig at the previous government for neglecting the welfare of the people through meagre allocation of Rs 8,700 crore, the Chief Minister said that the TRS government is spending Rs 27,000 crore for welfare of the people.

Every rupee of the schemes should spent transparently and reach the unreached and the deprived classes, he directed. Chandrashekar Rao said the Collectors should look into Water Grid works and take the responsibility to implement the welfare schemes cent per cent and help people get benefits.

He interacted with MLAs, Collectors, JCs and SPs on Aasara pensions, Swachh Telangana in line with Swachh Bharat. The Chief Minister said that the administration should ensure proper maintenance of government lands, streetlights, LED lights and storm water drains and other amenities and set up separate pipelines at railway lines and main roads wherever necessary.
