Vijayawada: Chief secretary K Vijayanand, in a video conference on Thursday instructed district collectors and department secretaries to complete district and constituency vision action plan meetings by July 6. He directed them to launch vision chapters immediately. The Chief Minister will review the P-4 initiative on Friday evening and meet with collectors, public representatives, and others on July 23 to assess progress.

He emphasised the importance of Anna canteens, which provide affordable breakfast and lunch to the poor. Collectors must ensure these canteens maintain high food quality, open daily at 7 am, and keep surroundings clean. He ordered the installation of CCTV cameras for continuous monitoring.
