**Adilabad Ministers’ Absence Raises Concerns Amidst Looming Local Elections**
**Hyderabad:** The lack of visits from the newly appointed ministers in charge of Adilabad district, Jupally Krishna Rao (In-charge Minister) and Gaddam Vivek, is generating unease among local leaders and officials. Since their appointments, district representatives have been traveling to Hyderabad to offer congratulations, but no official visits to Adilabad have been scheduled.
This delay is particularly concerning given the approaching local body elections. Sources suggest the state Congress party emphasizes that ministers should be proactive in making field visits, but Minister Vivek has only visited his constituency, Chennur, since his appointment.
Minister Jupally Krishna Rao is reportedly gathering information about pressing issues in the district. These include the widespread problem of fake seeds affecting farmers, delays in the Indiraamma housing project for eligible beneficiaries, wage payment issues, alleged corruption in employment guarantee schemes, irregularities in the Utnur ITDA, and corruption in welfare departments. The lack of progress on irrigation project repairs, despite allocated funds, and the lack of coordination between forest department offices have also been flagged. The contentions have reached Minister Jupally’s attention via investigative sources.
All eyes are now on Minister Jupally Krishna Rao’s first visit and the actions he will take to address these critical issues impacting the Adilabad district.
