Anantapur: During the ‘Suparipalana – Tholi Adugu’ (Good Governance – First Step) programme held in Narayana Puram Panchayat, Anantapur Urban MLA Daggubati Prasad questioned former MLA Anantha Venkatarami Reddy over a previously made statement regarding the city’s dumping yard. Prasad recalled that Anantha had publicly stated that he would not contest the next elections if the Anantapur city dumping yard was not relocated. “Why then did he contest again after failing to relocate it,” questioned Prasad, accusing the former legislator of breaking his promise. The MLA highlighted that the current government under Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu has already taken steps to completely shift the dumping yard by October 2. He added that the administration has delivered on multiple promises within just one year, gaining strong public support across households in the constituency. Listing major developmental works in the region, Prasad announced: Rs750 crore was allotted for underground drainage construction. Rs80 crore for protection walls for Nadimi Vanka and Maruva Vanka and Rs Rs6 crore spent on CC roads in Narayana Puram and an additional Rs2 crore development works under NREGS funds. A new dedicated drinking water pipeline from PABR, soon to be inaugurated.
