Finance Minister T Harish Rao said the State government was preparing to increase the sum assured under the Karmika Bima scheme, launched on the lines of Rythu Bima, to Rs.3 lakh from the existing Rs.1.5 lakh.
Finance Minister T Harish Rao has set an example by participating in a garbage collection drive by walking along the roads in the 18th ward of Siddipet Municipality.
Addressing Anganwadi teachers and workers during an Atmeeya Sammelanam in Siddipet on Sunday, the Minister said the BRS would get more than double the funds from the Centre after the 2024 elections.
The people of Siddipet town, officials and elected representatives have resolved to make the town hygienic, for which they are now walking through every corner of their wards every day to remove garbage and weeds besides cleaning clogged drains.
Asking them to keep barricades and traffic diversion cones at places where the people's movement should be restricted, Swetha has directed the police to stay available round the clock.
