Addressing the media during a programme at Collectorate here on Friday, Mr. Vijaya Sai Reddy asked the public to inform the District Collector, Commissioner of Police or GVMC Commissioner, if they have any information about encroachment of government land. “I have also instructed the officials concerned to take strict action against such persons.”
Reiterating that Visakhapatnam would soon become the Executive Capital of the State, the RS member said that the land rates in the city were on the rise and because of it, some persons were trying to grab the government lands.
