He was speaking after inaugurating the Janaspandana programme at the Chowdeshwari Highschool at Ammanallur village on Saturday.

“The gram panchayaths should give priority to village development. No borewells are installed in the taluk since past 3 months. Officials should understand the sensitivity of the issue and act accordingly and take up developmental works” he said.

He also advised them to approve the list of beneficiaries of those below BPL for sanctioning housing,  within 8 days. The programme for taking photos for issuing ration cards  has been started at the hobli level and arrangements should be made to take photos at the village itself to avoid discomfort to those who stay in far away villages, he suggested to tahsildars.
