Rajamahendraavaram: Minister for Finance Yanamala Rama Krishnudu has said that 3.50 lakh new pensions will be sanctioned in the State shortly. Though the State is passing through financial crunch since four years the government has sanctioned 53 lakh pensions, he recalled.

At present, as many as 16 lakh houses are under construction in the State and the government is working not giving scope for any criticism.
