MLA urges dealers not to hoard construction material

Housing scheme launched in Anantapur and Kurnool districts
The grounding of houses as part of the ‘Pedalandariki Illu’ scheme was undertaken in Anantapur and Kurnool districts on a massive scale on Thursday, but at the same time, the fear of scarcity of building material and the impending rise in the cost worried the beneficiaries. Dharmavaram MLA Kethireddy Venkatarami Reddy appealed to the construction material dealers and middlemen to cooperate with the beneficiaries and not resort to hoarding.
The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
