He distributed two mobile fish outlets to two beneficiaries, which costs Rs 10 lakhs each, to help the fishermen sell their fish. Following the request of Manakodru MLA Rasamayi Balakishaan, the Minister also assured to release grants to build three fish markets at Bejjanki, Thotapally and Begumpet villages. He also said that the fisheries department will release fishlings into Gundaram, Kallepally, and Begumpet tanks.
