Telangana Dy CM Bhatti Vikramarka interacts with people over tea at Mudigonda

Khammam, Sep 27 (UNI) Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka set aside protocol and interacted with local residents over a cup of tea during his visit to Mudigonda mandal headquarters in the Madhira Assembly constituency on Sunday.
Bhatti stopped at Neel Kamal Tea Stall, sat on a bench alongside locals and spoke to people about their problems and the implementation of government welfare schemes. Several residents and youngsters gathered around him, with some taking selfies with the Deputy Chief Minister.
He interacted with women and enquired whether welfare schemes were reaching eligible beneficiaries.
Speaking to roadside vendors Banoth Ramji and Narasamma, he sought their views on the ongoing road-widening works.
When some residents said they had lost their houses due to the road-widening project, Bhatti assured them that the government would provide houses to families whose homes had been affected.
He also interacted with roadside footwear repairer Palle Nagabhushanam, who sought assistance to establish a small shop. Bhatti assured him of loan assistance of up to Rs 1 lakh under the Rajiv Yuva Vikasam scheme in the name of his son, Palle Suresh.
Responding to the request of Endroti Yashoda, a woman from Venkatapuram living in a rented house with her two daughters, the Deputy Chief Minister directed the local Sarpanch to ensure that she was considered for a house and house site under the upcoming Indiramma Indlu housing list.
Later, Bhatti conducted a surprise inspection of the under-construction 50-bed Community Health Centre in Mudigonda and directed officials to expedite the remaining works.
He also inspected road-widening, CC road and underground drainage works and instructed officials to maintain quality standards.
His informal interaction with residents and direct response to their grievances drew appreciation from people in the area.
