Panchayat Raj Minister Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy on Saturday made a whirlwind tour of Punganur, Chowdepalle, Somala, Sadum, Pulicharla and Rompicharla mandals of Punganur Assembly constituency, taking part in a series of bhumi puja ceremonies for construction of Jagananna Colonies.

Speaking on this occasion, the Minister said more than 10,000 beneficiaries would be provided with house pattas in the constituency.

“Top priority will be given to complete the targets in Jagananna Colonies scheme.
