Yadgir Deputy Commissioner R. Snehal instructed authorities to visit each house and bring back students who had dropped out of school
Deputy Commissioner R. Snehal visited Satyampet (Wanakihal) and Bijaspur in Shorapur taluk of Yadgir district on December 20. She verified voter identity cards, visited retail outlets of the public distribution system, and brought children, who had dropped out, back to school in her vehicle.
The Deputy Commissioner visited the tahsildar’s office at Shorapur and heard grievances of the people as part of ‘Zilla Adhikari Nade Halli Kade’ (officials visit villages). She also inspected the revised list of voters.
She took the list to Satyampet and Bijaspur villages to cross-check the names of voters.
“As per the direction issued by the Election Commission, the revision of voter identity cards was completed. Inserting and deleting additional names in the voters’ list was done properly. If there is any error in the names in the list, objections from the general public were called between November 9 and December 8. As part of this programme, officials visited each house and revised voter Identity cards,” the Deputy Commissioner said.
Ms. Snehal visited a PDS retail shop in Satyampet and suggested to the retailer to distribute grains properly and collect prescribed cash from card-holders. “If there is any discrepancy, strict action will be taken,” she warned.
When she was in Satyampet, she came across some boys and girls. After being informed that they were dropouts, she took all of them in her vehicle back to school. The Deputy Commissioner instructed school authorities to visit each house and bring back students who had dropped out of school.
She was accompanied by Subbanna Jamakhandi, tahsildar of Shorapur, Prabhu Dhore, District Officer of Food and Civil Supply Department, Social Welfare Officer Channabasava, and Santosh Sheshalu, Deputy Director, Horticulture Department.
No room for complacency till counting is completed, Chandrababu Naidu tells TDP-BJP-JSP contestants. The TDP-BJP-JSP alliance will register a comfortable victory in the general elections over the YSRCP, he says. Alleging that the YSRCP has conspired to create disturbances on the counting day, the TDP national president advises the chief counting agents and their teams to see to it that the officials adhere to norms related to counting.
