Hyderabad: On the instruction of the CM KCR, Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar held yesterday a teleconference with all district collectors, welfare secretaries, and secretaries of the boarding schools to ensure the supply of quality vegetables to various hostels and boarding schools.

Earlier, Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao had visited the Vantimamidi market and interacted with the farmers.  The Chief Secretary instructed the Secretaries and the District collectors to supply fresh vegetables from the Vantimamidi vegetable market and urged them to prepare an action plan to give a better price to the farmers.
