IT and Industries Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu has asked officials to maintain quality while executing Pushkara work.
Sridhar inspected the VIP Ghat, Saraswati Mata idol, Gnanathirtham, the place where devotees bathe in the river, the tent city and other areas in Kaleshwaram on Sunday.
Later, he held a meeting with officials of all departments in the tent city, and directions were given regarding the arrangements to be made during the Chief Minister’s visit and completion of works.
Speaking on the occasion, Sridhar said that works are being executed very slowly and
that the officials should answer regarding that. He said the entire town should be electrified and a festive atmosphere should be created for 12 days. The Saraswati Mata idol should be decorated with flowers, he said.
Sridhar criticised the Endowment Department’s engineering wing as the main building of ‘Pinda Pradhana’ was incomplete and asked them to make adequate arrangements for devotees to watch the Saraswati Harati programme.
He said that a temporary road should be provided for devotees to bathe in the river and added that barricades and danger warning boards should be set up to warn devotees from entering the river.
