Khammam: Corporator Balagangadar Tilak here on Thursday advised the people not to neglect eyes related problems since of all the sense organs eyes are the most important.
He visited the eye-screening camp that was conducted under Kanti Velugu programme here at the Government Women’s Degree College, Gandhi Chowk in Khammam.
