The MLA and Mr. Suryanarayana travelled on a two-wheeler, trekked hilly areas, crossed streams and reached Modugudem, a remote hamlet.
They enquired about the health condition of the villagers, distribution of ration, medicines, vegetables, supply of masks. The ITDA project Officer urged the villagers to maintain hygiene, sanitise their premises and not to consume stale food.
“We visited Veerannapalem, Modugudem and other tribal hamlets and hill top villages and interacted with Kondareddy tribals. Vegetables, masks and groceries were distributed in the hamlets,” said Mr. Suryanarayana on Wednesday.
