He said that a urinary should be set up for every 1,000 persons in the towns. The State government had allocated Rs 500 crore for construction of veg-non veg markets and Rs 200 crore for Vaikunta Dhamams (graveyards) in towns. He asked the people to participate in Haritha Haram and take responsibility for ensuring survival of saplings planted by them.

The government would soon take up a project with Rs 350 crore for setting up of faecal sludge treatment plants in all municipalities.
