Govt will build sheds for livestock: Harish Rao

Finance Minister T Harish Rao on Friday said the government would construct separate sheds for goats, sheep and pigs on the outskirts of Kolgur village to keep the village clean and hygienic.

Stating that Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao launched the 30-day action plan to transform Telangana villages into healthy habitations, Rao said healthy people will be more productive. Instructing the officials to identify a 2 acre piece of land on the outskirts of the village, Rao said he will make another visit to the village to ground the construction of sheds for livestock so that their villages would be free of the mosquito menace.

Addressing the villagers at Kolgur of Gajwel Mandal, the Minister said the State government was granting Rs 339 crore to each and every district per month exclusively for improving all the facilities at Gram Panchayats across the State.

Asking them to fill up abandoned wells and dilapidated structures to destroy all kinds of breeding grounds for mosquitos, Rao observed that only healthy people can achieve all round development.

Harish Rao urged women



to take up the responsibility of keeping the premises of their houses clean. He assured that all eligible persons would get double bedroom houses. Assuring that he would visit the village on September 25, Rao said that the administration will distribute jute bags to all the households to prevent use of the plastic bags.
