District in-charge Minister Dola Sree Bala Veeranjaneya Swamy and MP M. Sribharat on Tuesday (September 15, 2026) asked officials and public representatives to coordinate for the successful conduct of the Chief Minister’s programmes in Visakhapatnam on September 19.
Participating virtually in a review meeting chaired by Collector M. Abhishikth Kishore, the Minister and the MP gave directions on the arrangements. They stressed the need to ensure that all eligible beneficiaries received house-site pattas from the Chief Minister. Officials were asked to identify beneficiaries from each constituency, issue invitations in advance and inform them of their designated galleries and routes to the venue.
The Collector said 26,426 beneficiaries had been identified for the distribution of house-site pattas and conveyance deeds across seven Assembly constituencies. The programme will be held at the Andhra University College of Engineering grounds.
He said a Swarna Andhra-Swachh Andhra programme would also be held along Beach Road as part of the Sagara Swachhata initiative. The Nirmal Sagar pilot project, covering beach cleaning, marine-waste recycling and livelihood opportunities, is to be launched as part of the programme.
The Collector said a Central government secretary and representatives of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) would participate. The venue for the Sagara Swachhata programme had not yet been finalised, he said.
The meeting was attended by Government Whip and Visakhapatnam West MLA P.G.V.R. Naidu (Ganababu), Police Commissioner Shankhabrata Bagchi and GVMC Commissioner Ketan Garg, besides other officials and public representatives.
