Addressing DRC meet at Zilla Parishad Conference hall, he said that he had requested the officials to give some detailed information on an issue and the officials have given insufficient information.

Sarvepalli MLA Kakani Govardhan Reddy said that the farmers have been facing troubles with the mindset of the officials who have been failing to provide rights on the lands being cultivated for many decades.
