The East Godavari District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee (DISHA) led by Rajamahendravaram Member of Parliament D. Purandeswari on Tuesday decided to ask the Centre to probe into the poor quality of pipelines laid across the district under the Jal Jeevan Mission (JLM).
The DISHA committee on Tuesday met for the first time in the current financial year and reviewed the implementation of the Centrally-sponsored prorgrammes and discussed key issues associated with the Central government. The committee comprises MP, MLAs and District Collector.
Speaking to the media after the committee meeting, Ms. Purandeswari said: “MLAs of the respective assembly constituencies have complained about irregularities in the pipelines laid across the district under the Jal Jeevan Mission. We have decided to ask the Centre to probe into the matter.”
Market for organic products
Ms. Purandeswari also stated that the committee has decided to appeal to the Centre to connect any one of the markets in the district to eNAM (National Agriculture Market), exclusively dedicated for marketing of organic products in the East Godavari district.
The committee has further proposed to appeal the centre for the increase in the man-days of work under the NREGA. The respective officials have been given a target to increase the number of Farmers’ Producers Organisations (FPO). Currently, there are 10 FPOs in the East Godavari district.
The issues discussed in the meeting would be sent to the respective Ministries at the Centre. MLC Somu Veerraju, Rajanagaram MLA Battula Balarama Krishna and other MLAs were present.
