A Perspective on Vizag
MLA Vijaya Prasad asks for infrastructure to be created at Gopalapatnam hospital
Visakha City, January 28, 2010
The GVMC proposes to supply water on alternative days from February 16. This was disclosed by officials at a meeting convened by the Minister for Tribal Welfare P Balaraju on issues in the urban areas of the district ahead of meeting by the Chief Minister K Rosaiah on development and pending issues. Besides drinking water, the issues covered included the Simhachalam Devastanam lands, pending works in the Municipal Corporation and funds due from the government, housing, bridge loans for scattered houses and bank linkage.
MLA M Vijaya Prasad wanted infrastructure to be created at the 30 bed hospital at Gopalapatnam as large number of people depended upon it. Incidentally, the hospital was inaugurated in 2004 by Rosaiah when he was health minister. MLC MVS Sarma wanted that steps to be taken to solve the legal tangle over Simhachalam Devastanam lands as people of five villages had documents for decades.
MLA Dronamraju Srinivas wanted funding to be improved for SC,ST and minority corporations while his Bheemili counterpart said funds should be released for development in his constituency. The issue of rehabilitating and employment for Dibbapalem residents displaced by Gangavaram Port also came up for discussion.
