Stone laid for roads
Visakhapatnam South MLA Dronamraju Srinivasa Rao on Tuesday laid the foundation for works worth Rs.7 lakh for basic amenities like roads and drains at Edugulla slum at Allipuram.
This was made possible by the formation of “basti” committee by Campaign for Housing And Tenurial Rights and negotiating with GVMC, according to Pragada Vasu of CHATRI. Municipal Commissioner M.V. Satyanarayana visited the slum and agreed to provide the amenities.
The slum was declared a notified slum by GVMC but some court cases over the ownership of land delayed the much-needed amenities to the 64 families living there.
