Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday reviewed the issue of connecting Rythu Bharosa Kendras with Civil Supplies Department. Agriculture Minister Kakani Govardhan Reddy and Civil Supplies Minister Karumuri Nageswara Rao attended the meeting held at the camp office in Tadepalli.

Speaking on this occasion, CM Jagan directed the officials to have effective coordination with the line departments to continue the activities of RBKs effectively. He said that a guiding plan should be made for this and ordered to conduct soil tests regularly and give soil cards to the farmers.
