MLA Pushes for Village Merger

The MLA from Gannavaram, Yarlagadda Venkata Rao, wants to merge nine villages near Vijayawada into the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC).

He believes this will help improve things like water supply, garbage disposal, and roads.

He also talked about how the water in the area is not safe to drink because it has too many dissolved solids.

The MLA said he would make sure the villages get better facilities and that a new university campus might be built in one of the villages.

He also warned a rice mill about pollution and promised to help poor people find housing.

Many other important people were also at the event where he spoke.
