'Co-operation can help villages progress'

Speaking after distributing cheques to beneficiaries at a Janaspandana programme organised at the Doddur Karapanahalli Gram Panchayat limits here, he said: “Villages can progress only if members of the public co-operate with the officials.”
The legislator, who noticed that the village did not have adequate bus facilities, said: “I will arrange for transport within a month. Borewells and pumpsets will also be provided for water supply. Proposals have been submitted to dig borewells in some localities.”

Narayanaswamy instructed officials of the Transport Department to lay humps on the main roads to prevent mishaps. He also said a proposal has been sent to the government, demanding funds for the development of roads in Bharat Nagar and H P Nagar, which would be asphalted soon. He distributed orders extending various financial benefits to 172 indivduals, under several schemes. As part of the social security sheme, eight beneficiaries received a sum of Rs 10,000 and several farmers were given cheques from the silk department.
