Hyderabad: Representatives of the Telangana PCC on Monday staged a protest against the delay in release of funds by the State government to gram panchayats. Addressing the party activists at Dharna Chowk TPCC president A Revanth Reddy said sarpanches across the State were facing hardships in executing different works due to lack of funds in respective panchayats.

MLC Jeevan Reddy said after the Congress would be elected to power, laws would be enacted making the State government to bear the streetlights bills, tractors EMI payments, besides strengthening the panchayats.
