I will always stand by you, Lokesh promises Mangalagiri people during Praja Darbar

AMARAVATI: Andhra Pradesh IT, Electronics, and Education minister, Nara Lokesh, assured the people of Mangalagiri on Sunday that he would always stand by them.

Lokesh actively participated in the Praja Darbar for the second consecutive day on Sunday to gather first-hand information on the problems that the people of his home constituency, Mangalagiri, were facing. People from Mangalagiri gathered in large numbers for the program and narrated their problems to Lokesh.

Representatives of the Andhra Pradesh Veugu Teachers Association appealed to Lokesh that the services of the 2,193 employees who are now on a contract basis be regularized. A student, Jagadeesh, appealed to the Minister to initiate steps to clear the fee reimbursement dues to the Nuzvid college so that he could get back his polytechnic certificate from the college.

The non-teaching staff members of Acharya Nagarjuna University wanted their retirement age to be extended to 62 years, while Sheik Nazina of Mangalagiri wanted financial assistance for her five-month-old nephew who is suffering from a strange disease. K Kiran Babu of Tadepalli wanted employment for himself and his sister, Mounika, who had completed their MBA.

Physically challenged B Srinivasa Rao of Tadepalli informed Lokesh that, although he is now 40 years old, he has not yet received any kind of employment and wanted some kind of livelihood to be provided to him. Yerramsetti Sriramulu and Bothala Maruthi Prasad of Radha Ranga Nagar of Vaddeswaram wanted some shelter to be provided to them as they do not own a house yet.

Kolanukonda Rajeswari, an anganwadi helper from Vundavalli, informed Lokesh that the previous government did not give her a promotion and requested Mr. Lokesh to direct the officials concerned to clear her promotion file. Nara Lokesh, who accepted all these appeals from the people, promised them to take necessary steps to resolve their problems at the earliest possible.
