Khammam: District Collector Muzammil Khan, who has been reaching out to common people, helped a person with disability (PwD) in Khammam to begin a new journey.

The Collector, who has been connecting with the sections that were usually uncared for by officials in higher positions, has on several occasions visited auto-rickshaw addas (spots) and interacted with auto rickshaw drivers to learn about their problems.


In continuation of his efforts, Khan arranged a special health camp for auto-rickshaw drivers and their families in the second week of December to address their health issues. He also took steps to conduct yoga classes for auto rickshaw drivers.

The Collector who recently visited Mahila Shakti canteens in Khammam city interacted with a physically challenged street vendor, D Kamala, who was selling fried groundnuts by the side of a road at Zaheerpura circle.

On seeing the Collector, Kamala, who did not know who he was, asked him whether he wants to buy some groundnuts. Khan enquired about the conditions of her family. She explained to the official that she lives with her mother and has no one to look after them.

Then the Collector told the woman he would extend financial assistance on behalf of the government to support them. Later, he contacted municipal commissioner Abhishek Agastya suggesting that arrangements should be made to provide a loan to Kamala.

Following the Collector’s directions, Mission for Elimination of Poverty in Municipal Areas (MEPMA) district mission coordinator Savala Sujatha, town mission coordinator G Sujatha and community organiser B Roja approached a local bank and provided Kamala with a business loan of Rs 1 lakh.

The loan cheque was handed over to Kamala on Thursday and soon she would start a vegetable business, informed MEPMA officials. Kamala, who was overjoyed at how quickly her life took a positive turn, thanked Collector Khan for his support to her family.
