Consume vegetables for good health: OSD to tribals

Vizianagaram: The district police identified remote mandals like Makkuva, Pachipenta, G L Puram, Salur, Kurupam and Mentada where the people are suffering from malnutrition and diseases like anemia and deficiency of hemoglobin and started helping them by supplying seeds of vegetables and green leafy vegetables.

OSD J Rammohan Rao visited these villages under 10 police stations on Thursday and advised the locals to grow vegetables and consume them for good health.

He said, "If we consume healthier food, there is no need to consult doctor and purchase medicines. The vegetables would provide all the vitamins and minerals for our body. At the same time, you should maintain personal hygiene to prevent from diseases."
