68 tanks to be rejuvenated in 3 constituencies
Krishnagiri (Kurnool district): A major irrigation initiative aimed at transforming Rayalaseema into a green belt was formally launched in Kurnool district. The project, considered the brainchild of former minister K E Krishnamurthy, seeks to fill 68 village tanks across Dhone, Pattikonda and Alur Assembly constituencies with water from the Handri-Neeva project. The inauguration ceremony was held at Lakkasagaram village in Krishnagiri mandal on Friday, where Labour Minister Vasamsetty Subhash, along with MLAs, Kotla Jaya Surya Prakash Reddy and K E Shyam Kumar, switched on motors to begin the water release into the tanks. Speaking on the occasion, Minister Subhash stated that the project was originally initiated in 2018–19 under the leadership of former deputy chief minister K E Krishnamurthy. With an allocation of Rs 280 crore, around 70% of the work was completed by 2023–24. He criticised the previous YSRCP government for neglecting the initiative, accusing it of focusing more on corruption and political survival rather than on farmers' welfare and rural development. The Minister highlighted various developmental works taken up in the Pattikonda constituency, including the construction of CC roads and drainage systems worth Rs 15 crore, and the modernisation of an SC hostel at a cost of Rs 3.5 crore. He pointed out that unlike the previous administration, which allegedly mismanaged welfare schemes like Amma Vodi, the current coalition government was delivering on all its Super Six promises. Under the new administration, welfare benefits were being distributed fairly, ensuring every eligible household receives support. Taking a strong dig at the YSRCP, the Minister accused its leadership of attempting to derail investments worth Rs 6 lakh crore into Andhra Pradesh by circulating misleading messages through tools like the 'Bhaskar' software. He stated that the previous government failed to present any meaningful development in five years and was instead focused on destructive politics. Referring to their electoral downfall — winning only 11 seats out of 175 — the Minister remarked that the people have decisively rejected their arrogance. He concluded by expressing hope that the opposition would recover from its political stupor and return to serving the public with sincerity.

ESI Hospital ready for inauguration
Rajamahendravaram: A state-of-the-art Employees' State Insurance (ESI) Hospital, constructed at a cost of Rs 56 crore in Rajamahendravaram, is ready for inauguration. Built to match the standards of corporate hospitals, the facility is expected to significantly enhance healthcare services for insured workers across the region. The Central government approved funding for the hospital project on August 19, 2020. Built on 5.83 acres, the construction was delayed and completed on December 30, 2024, with the hospital handed over to the Andhra Pradesh government in June 2025. Originally a 50-bed facility established in 1987 during the TDP regime, the hospital has been expanded to 100 beds, though formal approval for this upgrade is still pending. A report detailing necessary medical equipment, human resources, and operational funds has been submitted to the state government. Former MP Maganti Murali Mohan initiated the project in 2018, and the foundation was laid then. Minister Vasamsetty Subhash visited twice for progress reviews, but essential medical equipment is still awaited. The upgraded hospital includes 32 outpatient (OP) rooms, a casualty unit, minor operating theatre, pharmacy, and emergency ward on the ground floor, while the second floor is dedicated to mother and child healthcare, featuring an ICU, PICU, and third floor has six wards, a library, and administrative offices. Equipped with four lifts, centralized air conditioning, 50 CCTV cameras, and Braille signage, every bed has oxygen and ventilator facilities. Currently, the old 50-bed hospital operates with 30 staff members, but the new facility will require at least 300 personnel, including 100 doctors. The hospital plans to offer 26 types of medical services, including general medicine and surgery, although details on super-specialty services remain unclear. Officials are optimistic that once fully equipped, it will be a vital secondary care facility for the region's workforce.

Response to ‘Suparipalanalo Tholi Adugu' positive, says Andhra Pradesh Labour Minister Subhash
Andhra Pradesh Labour Minister Vasamsetty Subhash has said that the government's 'Suparipalanalo Tholi Adugu' programme is receiving encouraging feedback from the people. Addressing the media at the State Secretariat on Wednesday, Mr. Subhash said that during his visit to nine constituencies under the programme, people widely appreciated the development and welfare initiatives of the NDA government. The State had attracted investments worth ₹6 lakh crore, laying the foundation for 10 lakh job opportunities, he said. Of this, ₹20,000 crore had already come through the IT sector, with a potential to create 50,000 jobs. He alleged that the opposition party leaders were deliberately trying to disrupt the progress. Mr. Subhash mentioned about the successful implementation of schemes such as MSME, aimed at nurturing entrepreneurs in every household, and P4, which supported economically weaker families. He also said that the government had laid pothole-free roads at a cost of ₹1,200 crore. Under the Thalliki Vandanam scheme, financial aid was being directly credited to the mothers' bank accounts. Pensions and ration cards were being distributed to all eligible citizens, he said. Refuting allegations of job scam at Amalapuram, Mr. Subhash said he had no links with the accused and urged stringent legal action against the culprits.
