Collector Conducts Surprise Inspection in Iskilla Village
As part of the ‘Palle Bata’ programme, Yadadri Bhongir District Collector Hanumanth Rao, along with Additional Collector (Local Bodies) Gangadhar, visited Iskilla village in Ramannapet Mandal. The surprise inspection took place early in the morning at 5:30 am on Monday.
The Collector first checked if all Mandal-level officials were present. He then inspected key civic services in the village. He asked about the electricity supply and learned from the Assistant Engineer (AE) that the village had nine transformers. He also visited the Primary Health Centre (PHC) and inquired about the health of lactating mothers and pregnant women, finding that eight such cases were reported.
At the government high school, the Mandal Education Officer (MEO) confirmed that 109 students were enrolled. The Collector took action against open garbage dumping by issuing notices. He instructed the Panchayat Secretary to clean the area immediately.
While talking to villagers, the Collector checked the distribution of ration rice, electricity, and gas subsidies. When he found that one villager did not have a gas connection, he advised them to apply through MeeSeva and directed Civil Supplies officials to speed up the process.
The Collector also reviewed the benefits of the Rythu Bharosa scheme. Villagers raised concerns about poor drainage, so he ordered officials to prepare an estimate and a plan to fix the issue. They also requested a community hall and better transportation. In response, he instructed the RTC Regional Manager to arrange bus services.
At the Anganwadi centre, he ensured that children and lactating mothers were receiving proper nutrition. He also checked employment opportunities in the village, verified MGNREGA wage payments, and asked the Revenue Inspector to resolve ration card issues.
