He asked Collectors to carry out surprise inspections at hospitals, healthcare centres and other essential service points in their jurisdictions.

“Additional Collectors (Local Bodies) should also take to the field. When Collectors conduct inspections at 7 am, all field officers will stay alert. In the second half, Collectors can remain in their offices,” he said.

Revanth Reddy instructed the Chief Secretary and CMO officials to submit a detailed report on the activities of each Collector by the following morning.

“The Chief Secretary and CMO Officers should closely monitor the Collectors’ work,” he said, adding that Rs 1 crore should be sanctioned to each Collector for emergency works.
