Mancherial: Government Whip and MLA Balka Suman is known for his quick response in addressing problems faced by people in Chennur Assembly constituency and developing it on many fronts. He not only been striving hard to ensure better medical services to Covid-19 patients, but also extending help to poor families affected by the pandemic.

He also donated groceries worth Rs 1,000 to 2,000 economically challenged families in the constituency, considering their plight in the wake of the State-wide lockdown. His followers and TRS workers delivered the essentials at the doorstep of the poor on over the weekend and on Monday too.

“I have been organising several social service activities, improving infrastructure of schools and serving the needy through Balka Foundation, a voluntary organisation run by me. It is my duty to come to the rescue of the patients from economically poor sections who are struggling to fight against the virus,” Suman told ‘Telangana Today’ over phone.

A total 13 items including two litres of refined sunflower oil, a kg each of toor dal, green gram dal, sugar, 500 grams of tamarind, 250 grams of tea powder, two cakes of soap, a detergent soap, a kg of salt, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, turmeric, etc are part of the groceries bag donated to the poor. The bags were sent to Chennur, Mandamarri, Kotapalli, Jaipur and Bheemaram mandals, Mandamarri and Kyathanpalli municipalities.

The government whip’s humanitarian gesture has brought much needed respite to daily wagers, agriculture labourers, single women and widows in these testing times of Covid-19 pandemic. “I am forced to stay at home for the past three weeks following the lockdown, which has hit the livelihood of people working in various sectors. I appreciate the MLA’s help,” Marupatka Chandrakala, a beneficiary from the sixth ward of Kyathanpalli municipality opined.

Suman recently convened a review meeting over steps being taken by district administration to tackle Covid-19 pandemic. He visited isolation centres set up in Ramakrishnapur and Bellampalli towns.

In the first wave of the pandemic in 2020 too, Suman had donated groceries to 1,000 poor families of Chennur town in May. He had also contributed Rs 5 lakh to the district administration in its efforts to control the spread of Covid-19 and for taking up relief measures in March 2020.
