Let's join hands to build a world class capital: Collector

District Collector Babu A hoisted the national flag at the Chief Minister’s camp office on Saturday to mark the 69th Independence Day. Speaking on the occasion, he exhorted people to contribute their might to the construction of a world class capital for Andhra Pradesh. “It is a real challenge for a state facing financial deficit to build a capital.

Every individual and employee should extend their full support to the government in its efforts to build a world class capital for AP,'' the Collector said. City Police Commissioner Gautam Sawang unfurled the tricolour at the Police Parade Ground. In his address, he said the Vijayawada Police Commissionerate would come up with more initiatives to reach out to people.

Steps would be taken for effective maintenance of law and order. Police personnel would be sensitised on the need to be polite with people, which is a prerequisite to develop a good rapport with them. “Our aim is to meet global standards by setting a benchmark in policing. We will strive to win the trust of people by ensuring their safety,” Sawang said.
