Vijayawada: District Collector B Lakshmikantham expressed displeasure on the officials on Friday over the slow progress of the storm water drainage works in the city. He conducted a review meeting with the officials of the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation, L and T Company, Public Health Department at his chambers and reviewed the progress of the works.
The Collector said the prestigious project was taken up at a cost of Rs 461 crore to resolve the water logging problem in the city but the objective is not fulfilled due to slow progress of works.
