Amaravati, Jan 13 Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu, who is on his visit to his native village, Naravaripalle in Tirupati district, for the Sankranti festival along with his family members, spent Monday attending development and welfare programmes organised locally.
The Chief Minister, who keeps himself busy every day, did not take a rest even on the festival day.
After actively taking part in Sankranti celebrations in the morning along with local leaders of his Telugu Desam Party, he later laid the foundation stone for roads to various places in Chandragiri mandal, electric sub-stations, school buildings and other developmental activities.
The state government entered into an agreement with Easy Mart to supply quality essentials at very reasonable prices. To bring awareness among the people, this occasion was utilised by several women by purchasing essentials online.
The representatives of Easy Mart informed Chandrababu Naidu that currently their organisation is operating only from Kuppam and soon various branches will be opened in different parts of the Tirupati district.
