Sanitation Workers Seek Preparations Before Rajamahendravaram Godavari Pushkarams

Many devotees are expected to visit Rajamahendravaram for the event.
He said the city will need more sanitation workers to handle the larger crowds.
He asked officials to plan and recruit workers early instead of waiting until the event starts.
Madhu also said workers need fair wages for the same work.

The goal is to give devotees a clean and healthy place to bathe and visit.
Tatipaka Madhu urged Rajamahendravaram Municipal Corporation to strengthen sanitation before the Godavari Pushkarams.
