Hanamkonda: The district administration had been making efforts to place Warangal urban district at number one position in the implementation of development and welfare programmes, Collector Amrapali Kata said.
She hoisted the national flag and inspected guard of honour at police parade grounds in Hanamkonda on Friday at 69th Republic Day celebrations. Later addressing the gathering, she said with collective efforts of the officials of different departments the district had become 100 per cent open defecation free.
The district stands first in the State and at 17th place at national level in the construction of sanitary latrines under Swachh Bharat Mission. The district had won four national awards and Warangal city secured 28th rank in Swachh Sarvekshan survey last year, she said.
The Collector appealed the citizens in the city to actively participate in this year’s Swachh Sarvekshan survey and help the Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation (GWMC) to secure a better rank this time.

Cash cheques of Rs 25.30 crore as bank linkages and Rs 10.29 crore under Stree Nidhi were distributed to self-help groups by the Collector. Meanwhile, the Collector’s trouble in reading the Telugu script during her 20 minutes speech raised many eyebrows.
