Improvement of greenery and sanitation in villages should be accorded top priority in implementation of the Palle Pragathi programme to foster inclusive growth and all-round development of villages, said Transport Minister Puvvada Ajay Kumar. State level flying squads would tour the district to inspect the progress of works launched under Palle Pragathi. The villages which excelled in the implementation of Palle Pragathi would be suitably rewarded. Action would be taken against elected representatives and officials if their villages lagged behind in timely completion of development works under Palle Pragathi , he added. Collector R V Karnan said the government appointed an Additional Collector for rural local bodies to monitor the status and progress of sanitation and other works taken up under Palle Pragathi on a daily basis.
