That was why the Palle, Pattana programme was introduced. Even the remotest village in the State was covered under Palle Pragathi and active participation by public and elected representatives in the programme was essential for its success, Ajay Kumar explained.

Earlier the minister launched sanitation works in several municipal divisions while interacting with people.
