Visakhapatnam: Rajya Sabha member V Vijayasai Reddy said it is the responsibility of every citizen to educate women on Disha app. Laying a foundation stone for the construction of an Urban Primary Health Centre at Shiva Nagar in the 53rd ward here on Wednesday, the MP lauded Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy for giving top priority to women's safety.
